You have ran out of shared memory. To solve this, you can reboot your  
machine to clear out. If you are getting this often then you will need to  
add kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 and kern.ipc.shmall=32768 in  
/etc/sysctl.conf. Here's what I have tweaked to make desktop go smoother:

/etc/sysctl.conf
--------------------------------------------
kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864
kern.ipc.shmall=32768
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1
vfs.usermount=1
--------------------------------------------

/boot/loader.conf
--------------------------------------------
kern.ipc.semmni=50
kern.ipc.semmns=300
kern.maxfiles=25000
--------------------------------------------

Cheers,
Mezz
