Firstly ,
make sure that when you shutdown, the database is actually shutdown ... my guess is the db isn't shutting down.
(Thanks to Kyle) use http://oraperf.sourceforge.net/SGA/sgaid.sh to see which shared memory segment is used by which instance.

Subject: ORA-27100: shared memory realm already exists
So my questions are:
1. What is causing this problem and how can I prevent it?
2. Is there any way I can tell for certain which segment is being used by
which instance?
(The other instance on the box is production and a mistake might cost me a
few friends.)
Thanks,
