It seems increasing memory size in /etc/default/openser to 1024 didn't fix the issue.

# Amount of memory to allocate for the running OpenSER server (in Mb) MEMORY=1024

Hi Robert,

the memory failure is about the "PKG" or "private" memory pool, the setting you've quoted is about the shared memory pool. Both are seperated. Try to increase the private memory pool as well, you can specifiy it (in the old version you use) in the config.h file before the compilation.
