Shared Memory Problems

[michael sweet]

We are developing an application which uses large amounts of shared memory
(about 2 Mb in the current configuration) to track different types of datafiles.
During integration with other pieces of the project on another machine, we
have run into an error/bug that gives the error:

 "Could not find window slot in shared memory"

This is from the NeWS server, and appears on the console whenever the integrator
tries to open a new window.  She has/is placing a call to the SGI hotline, but
I figured you people here might be of more help...  The specifics of the
shared-memory segment we're using and the the machine are:

 Model:    4D/20, 16Mb physical memory, 100Mb swap
           IRIX 3.3.1

 Shared Memory Segment ~2Mb, using a key value of 6809, and mapped to address
 0x02000000.

I believe she is running Workspace as well when this happens.  Any guesses?
