Hi!

I'm trying to user zhe -B commandline option to postmaster to increase the
number of buffers. Works ok on my SUN IPX (SunOS 4.1.3) even with a large 
number of buffers. On the SUN LX (also SunOS 4.1.3) it returns:

hermes% postmaster -B 128
IpcMemoryCreate: memKey=123585129 , size=1292928 , permission=384IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(..., create, ...) failed: Invalid argument

postmaster -B 64  (default) works, but seems to run slow .. !
(patch 100726-17 is installed)

Any clues ?

- Holger
