I've seen this done with the Progress RDBMS where multiple data server 
processes share block buffers, semaphores, etc.  They also used the trick 
mentioned earlier of making a file and unlinking it while still open (or 
however exactly that's done) to have certain things (local user process 
block buffers, IIRC) removed automatically.
