I am using IPC in my program.  Both semaphores and shared memory are being
utilized.  I needed to use the "ipcs" amd "ipcrm" commands many times
during the development of the program, to remove shared memory segments
and semaphores when my program crahed.

I have never used the key as the identifier of the object to be removed,
but rather the object's ID.  It never failed to remove the desirable
object.  The identifier is available from the "ipcs" command, thus you can
use it as "ipcrm"'s argument.

So, what's the problem?
