It looks like my wrapper for the DISABLE_HUGETLBFS was largely at fault - for some reason when I cat to a file I end up losing the last few characters (in this case the $@)!

So, I'm now getting around 40% of the way through database creation before I fall over with a problem getting or attaching to shared memory. Looks like some memory setting needs addressing, but as my swap is somewhat limited at the moment I'll wait until the new disk drive arrives...

Thanks for your help,
