When running vic 2.8 I end up with

      shmat: too many files open

as I attempt to open more than 3 video windows from a session that
features multiple participants. My FreeBSD 2.2.1 kernel is configured
for shared memory support and the following parms

      SHMMAXPGS=1025
      "SHMMAX=(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)"

should I increase the above further? What's the value of PAGE_SIZE?
These values have changed... in an ancient 2.2 snapshot that I used
to run with 2048KB of shared memory opening more than 3 vic video
windows was never a problem.
