svr4 is "System V Release 4 ABI support", this hasn't to be present in
the kernel (I don't have it an gimp works for me). You either need
 options         SYSVSHM
 options         SYSVSEM
 options         SYSVMSG
in your kernel, or you have to load sysvshm.ko and maybe sysvsem.ko
(sysvmsg.ko shouldn't be needed IMHO). 

Do you have enough shared memory for your needs, e.g. does gimp crash
with small pictures, or just with large ones?

Bye,
Alexander.
