Re: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid argument

I'am also getting this same problem with 10.3.3 Server. Worked fine
with 10.3.2.

kern.sysv.shmmax: 4194304
kern.sysv.shmmin: 1
kern.sysv.shmmni: 32
kern.sysv.shmseg: 8
kern.sysv.shmall: 1024

Those are the Values i get from the command posted. Have you figured
out a fix for this error?

Thanks.
