:-P You'll have to pardon me for being unorganised, but I'm trying to quickly
answer this before I go off-line for a day or two (moving day). One last
thing to check: IPC structures. Do a 'ipcs' to see if there's any
semaphores, message queues, or shared memory segments that weren't released.
If so, use the ipcrm command to free them.

Note that if that program ran under a common uid, it may not necessarily be
obvious if that was created by that program or not.

Bye for awhile!
