It's best to file issues in bugzilla so you know the maintainer gets
them. 

In this case, I happen to read this list and maintain rkhunter, so I
can look into it. 

Are you sure the files are new? 
'rpm -q rhunter' returns what?

I can't duplcate this hear. I run it daily on a 5.4 machine and it's
never showing an issue. Just ran it again and it doesn't leave anything
in /dev/shm here. 

Perhaps you have an old config file?
