    I am trying to change SHMMAX for a Solaris 2.8 system so I can further
    test IPC::Shareable.
    In /etc/system I am setting this value with

            set msgsys:msginfo_msgmnb=8388608

    ... but It defaults back to 1048576 i.e.
    shell> sysdef -i | grep SHM
       1048576 max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)
         1 min shared memory segment size (SHMMIN)
       100 shared memory identifiers (SHMMNI)
         6 max attached shm segments per process (SHMSEG)

    Am I doing this correctly?

    Thanks

    Andy
