Oh, that's interesting.  The code is barfing on this because

        /*
         * Otherwise, we had better assume that the segment is in use. The
         * only likely case is EIDRM, which implies that the segment has been
         * IPC_RMID'd but there are still processes attached to it.
         */

It would seem that maybe your kernel has a different idea of what EIDRM
means than we do.  You say this persists across a reboot?
