Hi Robert...
I did all my testing on FreeBSD 4.0, without any
problems...regression tests were "as expected" and everything...haven't
tried my 3.2-STABLE machine yet though, that is *after* my holidays...
There have been several changes to the shared memory aspects of
the code...if I remember correctly, the default has been lowered to 32
segments (vs 64?)...but it pre-allocates on start up. If there aren't
enough segments, it will die...
Check ipcs...anything left laying around as 'used'?
