Hello

Does anyone know what would cause the following:

Sep 14 15:33:39 proxy /usr/sbin/opensips[30920]: ERROR:core:fm_malloc: 
not enough free shm memory (290427312 bytes left, need 6720), please 
increase the "-m" command line parameter!

increase the "-m" command line parameter!

Note that it's saying that it needs far less than what is actually left, 
so it doesn't appear to be a case that the shared memory has actually 
run out, despite it reporting that.

This is OpenSIPS 3.0.3.

The weird thing is that, after approximately five minutes, it just 
seemed to come right by itself.

Thanks
Greg
