MAX_DATA hard coded somewhere? <= was: oversized [ports] section

removed the space in hobbitserver.cfg. now it looks better. Thanks again,
Henrik.

One tiny problem. had to manually remove shm/sem. w/o doing so, restarting
hobbitd failed with errors similar to bumping into 'ulimit'. It is
4.2-RC-20060712 w/o patch on a CentOS 4.3 server.
2006-08-08 12:21:51 Could not get shm of size 1048576: Invalid argument

I bumped up the MAXMSG_DATA and MAXMSG_STATUS again, to 768 from 512

shows the 768K segment is created. However, an hour later, I still ran
into messages for hobbitd like this:

These ipcs numbers show that your current settings are:

MAXMSG_STATUS=768
MAXMSG_STACHG=768 (matches the _STATUS value)
MAXMSG_PAGE=768 (ditto)
MAXMSG_DATA=256
MAXMSG_NOTES=256
MAXMSG_ENADIS=32
MAXMSG_CLIENT=512
MAXMSH_CLICHG=512 (matches the _CLIENT setting)

---- "hobbitservers.cfg"---cut----

MAXMSG_CLIENT = 1024
MAXMSG_DATA = 768
MAXMSG_STATUS=768

Hmm - try removing that space around the '=' sign:

MAXMSG_CLIENT=1024
MAXMSG_DATA=768
MAXMSG_STATUS=768

I think that's the problem.
