    my first post shows what df says ..but here it is again
    ipcs shows A VERY HUGE LIST... ending with this

    ------ Semaphore Arrays --------
    key semid owner perms nsems status

    ------ Message Queues --------
    key msqid owner perms used-bytes messages

    yes, they are empty... is this a problem too?

    df shows
    Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    shm 8388608 109448 8279160 2% /var/shm
