I just ran into this. The system is a 256MB P133 running INN, with a fair amount of shared memory in use. I have traditionally tweaked maxusers to be 2 * #MB_of_RAM so it had maxusers 512 :-) (I am shooting to see this machine hit 300-400 nnrp users, yes, I realize maxusers does not necessarily have to directly relate to that number, but...) The twilight zone is all relative. :-) ...
