Hm no, I think not; but how do I find that anyways?

Many thanks in advance,

The values in /proc/sys/kernel/ that begin with shm defined the boundaries of what you can allocate in term of shared memory. i'm not sure if their meanings have changed at all from the 2.4 kernel series, so you might have to do some poking at the code to understand them.
