   	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?
