Yes, display does leave the segments allocated when it's SIGKILLed,
and doesn't when it's SIGTERMed. See Debian Bug#207379 against
imagemagick ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=207379 ).
shmctl(2) does say that the creator of a segment *must* ensure
that the segment is eventually destroyed, so this does look like a bug
in imagemagick.
I don't know whether it would be too much overhead for
gnus to try SIGTERM before SIGKILL; I leave that up to you --
as I'm sure you know, many programs don't (or can't) clean up after
themselves as well as they should when KILLed.
Thanks for gnus!
