9876.0. "Question about shmem limits" by HYDRA::MARSON (Barry Marson (Software Partner Engineering - SPE) MRO1-2/K5) Mon May 19 1997 12:59

    Is it possible in DUNIX to allocate/attach more than 4 GB of shared memory
    (via multiple segments)?  I realize (or suspect) that IPC limits the
    segment size to 2 Gig.  Can we map numerous segments to a VM space?  If
    so, we think we have found a bug in either shmat or malloc.  I'll post
    the example if it's allowable.
    
    Any help is most appreciated.
    
    
    Thanks,
