I installed the 2.2.1 update to one of our machines, along with the latest TCP/IP update and NFS update and msg.h update. All I know is that our main application on this system (voice-mail) now dies upon startup with Cannot send message: no more processes This refers to the sending of an IPC message. There are very few processes running on the machine (NPROC is at 120) and ipcs shows no messages queued. I even tried recompiling all our binaries on this machine (with the new msg.h) but no luck. (The program doesn't use either of the calls mentioned in the msg.h fix doc, but I thought I'd give it a try.) If I boot the old kernel, everything works fine. There is no difference in stune (or any other cf.d files) between these two kernels. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

You need to identify which system call it was (since you have source it shouldn't be too hard) before one can really guess at what the cause of the problem is. >If I boot the old kernel, everything works fine.
