One basic question on 'Shared Memory':
One process has written some data onto the shared memory. After that,
the process crashes due to some fault. Can someother process later read
that data? In my understanding, it should still be available until the
process who owns that segment explicitly detaches it. Am I right? Can
somebody clarify this?
