Memory Leak in /dev/shm on ARM 2.6.36
From: AJ ONeal

In my other message about SIGBUS I was mmap-ing a file in /dev/shm.
I switched my implementation to use write() instead of mmap and now it
leaks memory very very quickly.
`df -h` shows that 80mb of memory are in use
`du -ch /dev/shm` shows that 10mb of memory in use
After just a few minutes of creating and removing 512kb files in
/dev/shm the program exits with a write failure.
Unmounting and remounting /dev/shm reclaims the memory.
Again, if there is a better place to discuss this kind of bug, please
point me to it.
