I dunno whether it is still valid, but it used (back in the early 90s)
to be necessary to ensure that the maximum shared memory segment size
was an exact multiple of 4 MB because the o/s would allocate shared
memory segments on 4 MB boundaries, and to achieve contiguous
addresses, therefore, the shared memory segments had to be (a multiple
of) 4 MB each. This applied to SCO Xenix and earlier versions of Unix
(and the mighty 386 or 486); I've no idea whether it applies to
Unixware running on Pentium class CPUs.
