Hmmm.  Interesting.  Do you have:

     options              SYSVSHM

in your kernel config file?

Also, run "ipcs -M".  You should see available shared memory.  Here's what
I see:

     shminfo:
             shmmax: 4194304 (max shared memory segment size)
             shmmin:       1 (min shared memory segment size)
             shmmni:      32 (max number of shared memory identifiers)
             shmseg:       8 (max shared memory segments per process)
             shmall:    1024 (max amount of shared memory in pages)

Finally, if both of the above look good, you could just have orphaned
shared memory lying around.  Run "ipcs -m" and you probably should see a
blank slate.  If not, use "ipcrm" to remove the orphaned shared memory
queues (assumes you're not running apps that allocate shared memory).
