I was working with GIMP, and to use it more effectively I changed the shared memory size to 16MB: shminfo: shmmax: 16777216 (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: 4096 (max amount of shared memory in pages) I accomplished this by editing /sys/i386/include/vmparam.h and changing SHMMAXPGS from 1024 to 4096. This is the only thing I can think of that might have caused this. Could it? Regards, Marc.
