ERROR: Can't detach shared memory segment from the process.
It happens even if you do a tmboot -y then a tmshutdown -y starting out with a clean system and running nothing but startup and shutdown.

When the customer does ipcs, they get:
/path/to/tuxde81/log > ipcs
IPC status from <running system> as of Wed Jun  7 12:52:04 EDT 2006
T         ID      KEY        MODE        OWNER    GROUP
Message Queues:

It looks like each time when GWOSITP shuts down, and it leaves behind three shared memory segments that do not get cleaned up.  

So, this looks like a problem that needs to be addressed, otherwise the user will run out of shared memory segments eventually.
This problem appears to happen only on the Solaris system.
