ipcs -M shows:
shminfo:
         shmmax: 134217728       (max shared memory segment size)
         shmmin:       1 (min shared memory segment size)
         shmmni:     192 (max number of shared memory identifiers)
         shmseg:     128 (max shared memory segments per process)
         shmall:    8192 (max amount of shared memory in pages)

So yes, it had definitely reached its max.

So I used ipcrm to remove all of the shared memory segments, and the  
problem seems to have cleared up for now. A few rounds of simulating  
failed logins to sshit shows that it does allocate shared memory  
segments, and every time it adds an IP address it seems to allocate a  
new shared memory segment instead of finding the old one.

But from here it looks like an issue to take up with the developer,  
since it seems to be a bug. Thanks Bill for your help!
