Unlock of shared memory zones on process crash.

If process exited abnormally while holding lock on some shared memory zone -
unlock it.  It may be not safe thing to do (as crash with lock held may
result in corrupted shared memory structure, and other processes will
subsequently crash while trying to access shared data), therefore complain
loudly if unlock succeeds.
