Bob,
You didn't specify your OS, but I had the same problem on Solaris 8, with hobbitd failing during a shmat() call with return code 24 (EMFILE), which under IPC means "too many shared memory segments" rather than "too many files". I found out that Solaris (several versions) limits the number of shm segments a process can attach to by default to 6. Since hobbitd now needs 7 of them, you'll need to raise this system-wide limit by tuning the shmseg parameter in /etc/system, e.g.
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=7
The /etc/system file only gets read during a reboot. Related parameters are shmmin, shmmax, and shmmni. Hope this points in the right direction, even if you are not using Solaris.

Hello -
I downloaded the latest snapshot tonight and was able to compile and install it. I am running into a problem starting it however. When I execute the hobbit.sh start (or restart) it appears to execute correctly however nothing appears on the website. In looking through the logs I found the following:
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Loading hostnames 2005-08-10 07:06:17 Loading saved state 2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up signal handlers 2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up hobbitd channels 2005-08-10 07:06:17 Could not attach shm Too many open files 2005-08-10 07:06:17 Cannot setup client channel 2005-08-10 07:06:17 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1
Any ideas?
