Yup...

This is what I have...

kumr.lns.com:pozar (31) :ipcs -M
shminfo:
        shmmax: 4194304 (max shared memory segment size)
        shmmin:       1 (min shared memory segment size)
        shmmni:      32 (max number of shared memory identifiers)
        shmseg:       8 (max shared memory segments per process)
        shmall:    1024 (max amount of shared memory in pages)

Exactly the same.  Althought this is after rebooting and it seems
to be behaving now.

Thanks for the pointers.
