As of Solaris 10, we use resource controls to limit the amount of
shared memory users can allocate. The above no longer gives
meaningful results. Instead use (as any user):
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory $$
and note that the limit is a limit on the total amount of shared
memory a project can allocate (i.e. it is no longer a system-wide
limit on individual segment sizes).
See http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/rm/rctls/sysv/ for more
information on this change.
