I have been using IPC::Shareable with some success to communicate across forked processes. However, when executing my program during a test run (during which no code dealing with the shared memory had been changed), my program stopped working. Completely. For no obvious reason. It gave me this error: 
Could not create semaphore set: No space left on device
at server.pl line 57

[download]
Line 57 assigns an annoymous array to an element of a IPC::Shareable tied hash. Previously (in roughly 70-100 previous test runs), there wasn't a problem. However, there is now. I have 80 megs of free memory, 5 gigs of hd space, killed every process running, and even slayed my account. If anyone has any incite to my problem (or can even point to some helpful documentation that has eluded me), I would be very greatful
