Since there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there about this setting, I wanted to add this info back to the list. I had several people suggest bumping this to 400 "options PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=400". I did just that and it seems to have cured the problem. The only problem I have with the fix is that I don't quite understand how any of us arrived at the 400 number. LINT seems to suggest that bumping this too high when the machine has large amounts of physical memory will cause a boot panic. I wish someone that really understands this would weigh in.
