I'm having memory problems when launching Hobbit on Solaris 9.

Initially the error in /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log is "Could not attach shm Too many open files", and then later becomes "Could not attach shm Permission denied". If I then close all hobbit processes and look at /usr/bin/ipcs I see six shared-memory listings and six semaphore listings. I can clean these out with ipcrm, but then when I restart hobbit the same set of symptoms recur. I have appended some logs below, generated with the hobbitlaunch.cfg --debug switch on.

No processes other than hobbitlaunch ever start up, and no log files other than hobbitlaunch.log appear. There are plenty of resources available on the Hobbit server (disk, RAM, swap).

Thanks in advance for your consideration,
