Firebird 2.5 and SysV Semaphores

Hi, I have a problem with Firebird 2.5, and posted the issue in their mailing list. They suggested that I have to recompile the kernel to allow more SysV semaphores. Do you recommend this? Here's a copy of my mail: I recently installed Firebird 2.5 on a FreeBSD, it was running ok until

sshit runs out of semaphores

/sshit line 322 Every time it gets stopped by CTRL-C it leaves the shared memory behind, allocated. I am going to reboot later and double the number of semaphores (in loader.conf). I am running hobbit which uses 8, leaving only 2 free. This may solve this issue, but I'd appreciate any ideas

sysv semaphores

I'm trying to test a python extension (POSH) that uses semaphores. When testing I get a run time error that indicates it requires too many semaphores. Is it possible to adjust the allowed number of semaphores without rebuilding the kernel? What are the costs of having semaphores ie

Increasing Semaphores

Over the past few days, I had some problems with too few connections availabe for postgresql. I resolved them for the short term, but when I tried setting the max_connections for postgresql as high as 64, I received a message indicating that I had to increase the semaphores available

Hi, I was installing perl 5.8 and it would fails. Lost the error message, sorry. However, running a google search on the error message gave only one result suggesting that my system was running out of semaphores. So, `ipcs` showed that postgresql was using them and so stopping this db allowed

Memory semaphores?

Hello, I just installed Apache/1.3.28, and now I got a lot of files like these in /var/run/: /var/run/httpd.mm.77920.sem They look like memory management semaphores of some kind (from mm?). Can I safely delete these files, prior to staring the httpd daemon? I hate them cluttering up my /var/run
