Re: shmget.2: format fix

Hello Akihiro Motoki,

Thanks for the patch. However, I think I think it is perhaps a little 
better to leave the text as is. The point of the .I is to emphasize
that the unit of this limit is *pages*, while for several of the
other limits it is *bytes*. Does that sound okay?

Cheers,

Michael
