Hi all,

I am having trouble running the gimp-0.54 binary found on
ftp.xcf.berkeley.edu.  When I run the program, all seems ok until I try to
open more than about 4 windows.  At this point the program either dies
with a sigbus error or a seg fault, stating that it can't allocate 65535
bytes.

Correspondence with the gimp-user mailing list suggested increasing SYSV
shared memory.  I did this with the following line:

options         "SHMMAXPGS=8192"

I have tried values of 1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192 all with the same result.

I have also tried compiling a couple of the developer versions with no
success.

does anyone have gimp running on a 2.1.5 system?  The software looks very
promising but isn't much use if I can't have more than 3 windows open at
once.

Any suggestions??

cheers
Carey Nairn
