Re: Onbar completion codes

I've had the same problem on Solaris 9 with IDS 9.40. The solution was to tune kernel parameters (/etc/system on Solaris, I don't know about Linux). Precisely it's this parameter: shmsys:shminfo_shmmax. The machine on which IDS RUNS has 8 GB of RAM but the default value for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax was set to 268435456 (256 MB), according to ids_machine_notes.txt. I've set it to 1073741824 (1 GB) and error never occured again.
