Description smcho 2000-10-13 05:10:01 UTC 
	shmget(2) is described to take the second argument as 'the desired
	size of the new segment in bytes', but in reality, it takes the
	second argument as the size in _pages_.

Fix: Attached is a patch to lib/libc/gen/shmget.c
How-To-Repeat: 
	Read the source:
		sys/kern/sysv_shm.c
		lib/libc/gen/shmget.c
