Ron,
See if you can set kernel.shmmax to something higher. You can check the
current value with
sysctl kernel.shmmax
See sysctl(8).

I realize that 16 Megabytes is a little large, but not astronomical.
The set_output_multiple() function does work fine with 8100 * 129
= 1044900 items (of gr_complex).
Is this some hard limitation in the shared memory library, or can it be
overridden somehow?
best regards,
Ron
