I seem to remember that this problem is caused by an erratic configuration of the kernel parameter related to shared memory. Unfortunately I cannot help since I never played with it; however, I've heard a collegue of mine who had similar problems with 7.14 on SCO 5.0.2 and he suggested to try with Informix in order to get Operating System specific info relating to the kernel parameters you have to change. Hope this helps !
