That is correct.

Unfortunately, these are my current settings:
options SHMALL=1025
options SHMMAX="(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)"
options SHMMAXPGS=1025
options SHMMIN=2
options SHMMNI=256
options SHMSEG=128
I can increase it more, but I think this is quite a ridiculous amount
of shared memory to be using. Something must be wrong.
I am now searching for a way to disable the MIT-SHM extension in the X
server, but I think I may have to recompile.
