shared_memory_object::remove still returns false on success in about 1 of 30 calls. Label_A message below pops up.

string const name = m_ShMem->get_name();
m_TraceQueue->removeUser();  m_TraceQueue->~SharedMemTraceQueue();
delete m_ShRegion;           delete m_ShMem;
for (bool toDelete = true; toDelete; ) {
    toDelete = !boost::interprocess::shared_memory_object::remove(name.c_str());
    if (toDelete) {
        struct stat buff;    string fullName;
        boost::interprocess::detail::tmp_filename(name.c_str(), fullName);
        toDelete = (0 == stat(fullName.c_str(), &buff));
        if (toDelete)
            cerr << "Still trying to remove " << name << endl; //sleep...
        else
            cerr << name << " not existing anymore. Skip\n"; // Label_A
    }
}

This seems related to bug #7923, that is already fixed. Can you try trunk code to see if this bug is also fixed?
