This issue has come back again:

Oct 15 11:55:20 proxy /usr/sbin/opensips[21737]: ERROR:core:fm_malloc: 
not enough free shm memory (651730736 bytes left, need 6720), please 
increase the "-m" command line parameter!

Lots of shared memory left, but it's still saying not enough.

Any guidance on how I can debug this would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks
Greg
