I did not see anything in the FAQ's although I noticed as I browsed through
the different mailing lists that others have had the same problem on
different platforms. I also noticed someone make the comment that they
needed to increase the shared memory space on their system or something like
that. I am not sure how to do that on my system. If anyone else out there
has a clue as to whats going on please let me know.
