In addition to the issue below (still pending as I did not get any clue), the system run out of memory during a calculation while trying to allocate a small mem segments: "to allocate a shared memory segment of 49283072 bytes in size".
Checking cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmax reported 33554432 while I had set on 18Apr2008 24000000000. Any trace of setting kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall had disappeared from sysctl. Of course I had run "sysctlc -p" as proved by not having any memory problems in allocation very large mem segments until recently. I have nowreallocated shmmax. Whether or not this issue is related to the one below, both happenen without warning on my amd6a.

I can't exactly remember when the problem started, probably along with a compilation. Now, at user login (single user, amd64 lenny, a NUMA-type multi dual-opteron machine) a long list appears before the prompt. The list includes: ---"Last login ...date" ---Several lines of "declare -x", each such line for an environmental variable,including. That occurs even on no-password slogin from my desktop (this may trigger some problem when launching calculations from the desktop). Otherwise, the amd64 machine works properly. >From where is the list read, and hod to kill that reading?
