Segmentation fault

I think that ap_cleanup_for_exec() should not call ap_kill_alloc_shared()
but instead should call some munmap()/shmclt(IPC_RMID)/etc wrapper without
a freeing the allocated blocks in pool - these blocks still in use by other
processes.

Well, ap_kill_alloc_shared() does not free allocated blocks but it calls
mm_destroy() that wipes out shared memory with zeros before munmap()/etc
while other processes still think that this memory is valid.

But I still can not understand why this fix was made at all.
SysV shared segments and mmap()ed memory are not inherited across exec.
