Your bug fix in svn works for me. There are no more 4MB shared memory segments 
after digikam has terminated.

If more people can confirm this problem:
From my point of view it would be good to release another beta version since 
this bug is really bad and might leave a bad taste for some people which have 
only little meomory in their systems. This memory could get occupied 
completely by digikam and could lead to a system freeze which might after all 
lead to a loss of other unsaved data.
