+Summary: Mono Runtime Is Leaking Semaphores
+
+This is a major issue that is holding up the migration of the City of Largo
+to Evolution 2.6.  Evolution is with mono in the 2.6 version.
+
+mono-core-1.1.13.4-0.novell:   When you invoke a mono application such as
+Tomboy or Evolution 2.6, it uses a semaphore and creates an entry
+apparently in /dev/shm which is detected with ipcs -s.
+
+When the mono program is closed, the semaphore is never released.  This
+leaking issue causes the server to run out of server wide semaphores and
+then fail to allow additional process.  Tuning isn't going to help because
+they are leaking.
+
+Here is proof:
+oa3:~ # ps -ef | grep teachers
+root      1332   887  0 09:21 pts/1    00:00:00 grep teachers
+oa3:~ # ipcs -s | grep teachers
+0x4d02f3e0 524304     teachers  600        8         
+oa3:~ # 
+
+Nothing is running for teachers, yet the semaphore has leaked.  Semaphore
+was not in use before mono applications (tomboy in this case) was run.
+
+We are basically down.
