:| How big is 'lots'? If the shared memory segment is smallish, e.g.
:| less then 64MB, you should be ok. If it is larger then you will
:| have to do some kernel tuning to avoid running out of pmap entries.

:This is exactly what happens to us sometimes. We run out of pmap entries. :)
:But what can we tune?

What Alfred said:
sysctl -w kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1
(run prior to creating the initial shared memory segment, e.g. when
the machine is booted).
That should solve the pv entry problem. What Alfred said in regards
to 'sysctl -a' crashing too... We'll fix it if you give us a
traceback!
The kernel config you are using would be useful. It sounds like there
are a bunch of things you either need to tune or have already tuned in
the kernel configuration.
