Shared memory and message queues are a good thing to keep an eye on
for sites running McIDAS and GEMPAK.  I'm glad that the advice did
some good.

This is strange.  I now suspect that there is something else
amiss with your setup.  Are you running these scripts as the
user 'mcidas' or as some other user?   In either case, can
you let me know the result of a:

DMAP Frame

when run from the same script?  This may show that there is
a non-writable (by the person running the script, at least)
copy of FrameN.M (N,M are integers), and so changes to things
like the color table are not being saved to disk.  This is
just a wild stab; it may be all wrong...

If all else fails, I am willing to login and see what could be
wrong.  There is nothing wrong with the script you are running,
so you should not be seeing the EU MAKE problems you are
experiencing.
