Subject:   System V Shared memory regions... How big is too big?

Is it just me, or is there actually some sort of a limit (perhaps 4MB?)
on the maximum supported size of a System V style shared memory region
under FreeBSD 2.2.8?

I tried called shmget with (1 << 23) as the size argument, and I got
back an ``Invalid Argument'' errno.  But calling it with (1 << 22)
seems to work just fine.

I am kinda bummed.  I need to have a shared memory segment bigger than
4MB.
