RE: [Linux-ia64] Kernel Shared Memory Max (shmmax)

["Seth, Rohit" <rohit.seth@intel.com>]

David,

If you need any preference of value for shmmax, then please go with 4G
(though there are utilities that expect size of shared memory segment to be
only int :) but that should be fixed seperately). Could you please make this
change in your next patch.

thanks,
rohit

I agree; it always struck me as a curiosity from days long gone... ;-)
