[hobbit] Problems starting hobbit

Don't know if it will help, but the last time I had this problem, the 
fix was completely stop hobbit, make sure all of the processes are gone, 
and run /usr/bin/ipcs. I had a bunch of shared memory segments that were 
hung, that I was able to remove using /usr/bin/ipcrm. Note the user in 
the ipcs output - do not remove segments belong to other users or you 
may break some other application you have running (I did that too) :-)

If this does not help, you may need to edit your /etc/sysctl.conf and 
increase your shared memory.
