shmget failed: error 28 (No space left on device)

[Alexander Best]

hi there,

i'm running HEAD on amd64. when executing certain linux apps, as well as native
freebsd gimp i get the following warnings:

(gimp:56100): Gdk-WARNING **: shmget failed: error 28 (No space left on device)
shmget() failed: No space left on device
Disabling shared memory tile transport

...or similar. can anybody please help me with this and advise me which
values are not set properly? i think the following output should give you a
clue about my current settings in connection with the warnings.

thanks in advance.
alex
