I've changed the text in cygserver.conf to this: # kern.ipc.shmmaxpgs: Maximum pages available for XSI shared memory. # Changing shmmaxpgs immediately affects setting SHMMAX. The relation # between shmmaxpgs and SHMMAX is: SHMMAX = shmmaxpgs * getpagesize(). # Default: 8192, Min: 1, Max: 32767 #kern.ipc.shmmaxpgs 8192 HTH, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Co-Project Leader mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
