actually, you're not really running out of shared memory. You're running out of sysv shared memory, which is barely a qualifier for the name 'shared memory' :=) Does the tool you're using use the shared memory just as shared memory, and not for locks, etc.? If so, you're better off setting up shared mmap'ed files, since there will be no limit. I have a simple allocater called filemalloc and filecalloc that does this, if you want them let me know. Works much better than sysv shm. ron
