There is a tunable system kernel parameter that I had to change to allow
allocation of more shared memory. Unfortunately, I don't remember what
is was right now. But I got the instructions from the chapter on tuning
applications for higher performance in the Performer manual.

I'll try and figure out what it was that I changed and get back to you.
(Unless somebody else knows what I'm talking about :-)
