Hobbit server doesn't start on CentOS 5 with hobbit-4.2.0-7.el5.re.i386.rpm installed

[Sebastian]

I installed an RPM of hobbit-4.2.0 called hobbit-4.2.0-7.el5.re.i386.rpm,
which I probably got from here:
http://rpm.razorsedge.org/centos-5/RE/repodata/repoview/hobbit-4-4.2.0-7.el5
.re.html
It includes the All-in-one patch.  So I configured the cfg files and started
hobbit, but I get this in hobbitlaunch.log:

2007-11-29 17:33:47 hobbitlaunch starting
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Loading tasklist configuration from
/usr/libexec/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Loading hostnames
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Loading saved state
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Cannot access checkpoint file
/usr/libexec/hobbit/server/tmp/hobbitd.chk for restore
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Setting up signal handlers
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Setting up hobbitd channels
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Could not get shm of size 262144: No space left on
device
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Cannot setup status channel
2007-11-29 17:33:47 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1

This is the first time I've started it, so I presume that this is normal:
"Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/libexec/hobbit/server/tmp/hobbitd.chk
for restore".  The problem looks like this:  "Could not get shm of size
262144: No space left on device".  I see that there are two similar issues
listed on http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html that relate to
FreeBSD, but none of the sysctl keys listed are in this version of Linux:

# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.centos.plus (mockbuild at builder6.centos.org)
(gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Thu Oct 25 06:49:40
EDT 2007

Google returns 1 result for "Could not get shm of size" "No space left on
device" and that was the Known Issues page I've already checked.  Any ideas?

Also, I noticed that the hobbitd.pid file did not get deleted when hobbitd
terminated.  It seems like it should have been.

Many thanks,

Sebastian
