Oh, hmm. When you say "filling", maybe you hit the leaking shm
problem that was fixed in 11.7, that requires messages somewhere in
your log about lack of DSM slots? I don't have an explanation for the
exact the error you're seeing though. It's a bit tricky to speculate
on older releases with so many bug fixes missing though. Please let
us know if you still see the problem after your next scheduled
upgrade.
