Hi Stranger
The above could be for a variety of reasons: Are you starting up the instance? Permisisons and O/S kernel parameters might be the culprit. A running instance would encounter this if the O/S has lost a thread on this sh. memory seg. (are you using semaphores?) The associated O/S message would be helpful. You might find insteresting info. in the trace and log files.
