You read the Linux AIPS Manager FAQ not the Solaris one.  For Solaris,
the problem is the shared memory size limit.  By default in Solaris
systems this is still only a Megabyte - smaller than the screen in
8-bit mode yet say 32-bit mode.

Add to /etc/system and reboot....

* Large shared memory segment for 24-bit AIPS TV, from Dave Brown
*   GEM, 20 Mar 98
* harmless on systems that won't actually use it, so generic
 
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=8388608
