Let It Go

Apprentice: "Jedi, I cannot start my appp properly. It always shows strange error messages. I don't have a clue what's going on. "
Jedi 1: "Hmm, let me see". (Jedi 1 only restarts the app and stare at the error messages..silence..)

.....

Jedi 1: "Apprentice, even I don't know what's happening."
The Guru: "What's going on guys?"
Jedi 1: "Blablablabla.."
The Guru read the error messages and in one second he shout "Semaphore!"
The Guru : "Jedi 1, you controlled the shared memory. That's why apprentice's app cannot be loaded"
Jedi 1: "???????"
Jedi 2: "Let it go Jedi 1...Let it go..."

Well, four hours without doing nothing is quite annoying. Apparently, Solaris hasn't deallocated the shared memory area. Don't know why.
