Do you have flashplugin-mozilla installed? If so, you got it anyways!
flashplugin (or mozilla?) doesn't free shared memory block used to
communication.

Workarounds:
1) Use linux-mozilla. It is using native flash and is working normaly.
2) Perform "ipcs -m" check just after exiting mozilla and remove any stale
shared memory block.
("ipcs -mo| awk '{if($7 == 0) print $2}'|xargs -n 1 ipcrm -m").
