I was wondering about that as I read your message, but my recollection

if the request size would be legal by itself but is rejected due to
other pre-existing allocations. You might want to try deliberately
provoking such a situation and see what error you get.

Not that I've found. It's a very annoying omission :-(. I'm not sure
if Darwin is sufficiently BSD-ish that it would work to compile up ipcs
from one of the BSD distributions, but you could try ...
