Applications such as gstreamer/totem are affected notably, however, shmget fails on an increased basis (as opposed to never failing) when logged into gnome. >How-To-Repeat: keymap="us.iso" linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="NO" sshd_enable="YES" gnome_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" apache_enable="YES" sendmail_enable="NO" Install gnome, do not disable sendmail, launch video that requires a particular amount of shared memory...larger/high res videos with totem or gstreamer. Or, a text file that would require a non-trivial amount of memory to write() or fwrite() to a file or other IPC. >Fix: Disable Sendmail. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
