I posted a message similar to this a week ago.  We are running on a MIPS
2030 system and had been running X11R3.0.  Our xdm-errors file had been
written to by the server, continuously eating up MBs of disk space until
we either restart xdm or delete the file. Yesterday I installed X11R3.1
and now the file is being written to a faster rate (every few seconds).
The only difference is the message (which makes no sense to me!):

	WARNING: display granite:0 could not bshmget faishmget fails.
	errno is 2
	canshmget faishmget fails, errno is 2
	cannot mmap.
	shmget fails, errno is 2
		(etc.)

Anyone have any ideas what is going on here?
