am running RH6.1 with 2.2.18 kernel).

Well, that looks as if it involves the SysV "shared memory", so I suggest
that you look at the ipcs command, its output, and its uses -- or
whatever comes closest to it (depending on whatever OS you're running).
It may well be that you have a bunch of shared memory segments lying
about that are no longer in use, for example.
Cheers,
