Greetings LADders:
I'm working with Kjetil's vstserver, testing various plugins, and
occasionally I get this error from the server :
VSTSERVER/SMS_new: Unable to allocate 12288 bytes of shared memory.
VSTSERVER/CH_new: Could not set up shared memory.
The plugin then politely refuses to load. 'cat /proc/meminfo' reports
:

I tried expanding the shared amount with 'echo some-big-number >
/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax' but still got the error. I'm obviously not
understanding something, so I turn to the wizards for help. Is there a
fix for this problem ?
Best regards,
