When I run Gimp.99 or .5x I get a core dump and the message:

cmd gimp pid 1106 tried to use non-present SYSVSHM

I see the message whenever I kill the x-server also.  I've searched for
docs regarding SYSVSHM everywhere from my FreeBSD handbook to XFree86.

Have any of you had the same problem and found a solution?
