Any chance of bumping the default to something a bit more reasonable?
gtk apps and mplayer both complain about not being able to allocate shm
with the default configuration, bumping it to 8192 makes everything happy.

I suggested this before in private:

- param.c: ifndef SHMMAX then define SHMMAX 0
- shminit: if (shmmax == 0) shmmax = 5% of physical RAM
- shminit: if (shmmax < SHMMAXPGS) shmmax = SHMMAXPGS

shmmaxpgs appears to be the issue here, not shmmax..
