if shmget return error 28, that means you have run out of shared
memory slots. Did you perhaps install a kernel without option
SYSVSHM enabled? Mozilla uses shared memory blocks to communicate
with plugins. As far as i remember the GNU Flash plugin has a bug
that causes it to not release these shared memory blocks on FreeBSD.
I mailed the author a couple of months ago but never got a reply.
You can check which shared memory blocks exist on your system with
the ipcs command, see ipcs(1).
