        Hi, Unix wizards!
        I am trying to use shared memory provided in Unix System V for
IPC between processes. Due to reliability reason, I would like to know
the data in a shared memory can be used if the creator of shared memory
crashed. Could somebody out there please highlight me. Thanks in advance.
