I tried to port the Linux sound program GramoFile but failed.
The source was found at

    http://cardit.et.tudelft.nl/~card06/

It was easy to make it compile and link, mostly changing <curses.h> to
<ncurses.h>, and -lcurses to -lncurses. But creating the System V
semaphores fails when trying to play some sound. A call to

    semget(IPC_PRIVATE, SEMMSL, IPC_EXCL | IPC_CREAT | 0600))

fails with the error "No space left on device". I tried to
use a smaller value for SEMMSL but it did not help. 

Any hints about what can be the cause of this problem? I have set

    options         SYSVSHM                 # System V Interface
    options         SYSVMSG
    options         SYSVSEM

in the kernel config and I run
