See the AIPS Manager FAQ page.  You may have to change some parameters
in files to allow big enough shared memories.  I would have expected
this to be a problem from the beginning however.  Do exit aips using
the KLEENEX verb which closes the daemons cleanly.  I suppose it is
possible that shared memory is not being released and you are up
against some limit on totals.
