I saw that one, and read that Hans helped him out. While I am not by far
as knowledgable as Hans on these issues, I could find the place where the
limits most probably are:

/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/shmparam.h
(at least if you are using i386)

It also mentions why the default is only 7: the kernel has to allocate a
big static array for this, which just takes up memory for most people who
don't need this.
