I have no more troubles with these settings
on an Ultra-5 (256M) :

/etc/system
# Base version:
# set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=131072000
# set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=200
# set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=20

# Extended version For Oracle:
                       ^^^^^^ As Gnome is not Oracle(tm),
some settings must probably be reduced :)

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 0x2000000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni = 0x1000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg = 0x100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns = 200
set semsys:seminfo_semmni = 70
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu = 40
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmax = 16384
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmni = 100
set msgsys:msginfo_msgtql = 500
set msgsys:msginfo_msgseg = 2048

(A reboot of the machine is needed to validate
 the changes in the kernel)

Take a look at this link to get the rigth settings:

Hope it will help,
