My sid VM has been doing something similar from time to time, and now one of my wheezy machines has just done it too. The error is slightly different:

araminta$ fakeroot id
fakeroot, while creating message channels: Invalid argument
This may be due to a lack of SYSV IPC support.
fakeroot: error while starting the `faked' daemon.
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]

araminta$ sysctl kernel.shmmax kernel.shmall kernel.shmmni
kernel.shmmax = 33554432
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmni = 4096

Rebooting clears the issue on both systems.
