- From acad/readme.doc for the Sun-4/SPARCstation:
-
- AutoLISP and Inter-Process Communication
- ----------------------------------------
-
- If AutoLisp (the "acadl" process), which controls ADS applications,
- terminates prematurely, due to an ADS application that crashes, or
- because of a "kill" command, you may have Inter-Process Communication
- (IPC) shared-memory and semaphores that are not removed from the
- system. If this happens repeatedly, you will be unable to run ADS
- applications because there are no free semaphores available. To
- correct this situation you must use the "ipcs" (IPC status) command to
- inquire on IPC objects, and the "ipcrm" (IPC remove) command to free
- them. See the man pages on these commands for details on their
- usage. Note: Do not use "ipcrm" while an AutoCAD is running or you
- may remove the currently in-use IPC objects.
-
- Maybe that's your problem.
