The SysV shared memory and other IPC resources are limited and persistant,
i.e. they do not get de-allocated unless a program specifically requests
de-allocation.  Your flash plugin installation probably left various SHM
segments allocated and you run out of `free' shared segments.

Next time this happens, try using `ipcs' to see the allocated resources, and
if you're sure that none really needs them use `ipcrm' to delete stale ones.
