Oh yeah, that.

That's not a problem with your particular crafty build, but is a  
crafty/os x issue.

Crafty wants an enormous shared memory segment and os x has a somewhat  
small shmmax value by default.

Here's what you can do:

As root on the command line, type

sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=1073741824
sysctl -w
