When I ctrl-c doom several times when running it, A fun thing happens,
after a while, it is no longer able to allocate shared memory for the
X-server SHM extension to doom.
That's because the shared memory ID already exists. You can use `ipcs'
and `ipcrm' to remove it.
Normally you wouldn't notice this, because the next time you run DOOM
it's supposed to be cleaned up automatically. However, there was a bug
in the emulation of IPC_RMID that caused that to fail. (This should be
fixed in the kernel on granola.)
