Startup problem on FreeBSD

I've changed semmni to 20 and semmns to 100... works like a charm!

Thanks for your help Henrik!

I think it's getting even more difficult looking at the following output:

OK, so I think you're hitting the "kern.ipc.semmns" limit of 60 - that
does match the output from ipcs (3x17 for postgres, 3x3 for bb - Hobbit
- gives 60. So some of the Hobbit ones are missing).

I'll have a go at google with your info...

This is the best one I've found yet. The kern.ipc.sem* sysctl settings
are "read-only", so apparently they can only be modified upon a reboot,
by listing them in /boot/loader.conf:
