Just to make sure:  The above only tests your text template of
the kernel's configuration and doesn't necessarily reflect your
running kernel's configuration.  Make sure that these settings
are in effect.  One more complex but more reliable way would be
to issue something along the lines of

strings -n 3 `sysctl -n kern.bootfile` | grep '^___' | sed 's/^___//'

and maybe pipe it into some "grep SYSV" request.  Of course this
assumes that you enabled the INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE option (which I
feel should be default, anyway -- since its cost is low compared
to the gain and admins wanting to squeeze memory can easily
remove it).
