We default to SHMMAXPGS=1024, which seems rather small given this
is the maximum limit and changes to it shouldn't affect the amount
of memory in use unless an application takes advantage of a higher
limit.
Ogle (to give an example) likes a SHMMAXPGS of 16384.
Would anyone object to increasing the default to 16384 for all
platforms?
perhaps, on a per-port basis, it could become a dynamic based on
the amount of ram available?
