I left it at the default of true in the new distribution. I did reduce
numrsprocs to 1, because there are very few readers on this server.

I should probably do more testing with BDB 4.8 with useshm off. I just
ended up there because I couldn't get 5.3 and 6.2 to work at all unless
I had it on.

I'll work on that the next time I'm feeling experimental. In the case
of running makehistory, I would keep innd stopped.
Thanks for the tip!
