Hi,

I just experienced the first silent reboot of Fbsd 2.1. I was working 
with GIMP, and to use it more effectively I changed the shared
memory size to 16MB:

shminfo:
        shmmax: 16777216        (max shared memory segment size)
        shmmin:       1 (min shared memory segment size)
        shmmni:      32 (max number of shared memory identifiers)
        shmseg:       8 (max shared memory segments per process)
        shmall:    4096 (max amount of shared memory in pages)

I accomplished this by editing /sys/i386/include/vmparam.h and 
changing SHMMAXPGS from 1024 to 4096.

This is the only thing I can think of that might have caused this.
Could it?

Regards,

Marc.
