I found an old setting that seems to do the job:

shm_key     100

In that old setting it was set to 100, the man page says:

shm_key _integer_
Specify a key for a shared memory BDB environment. By default the BDB
environment uses memory  mapped  files. If a non-zero value is
specified, it will be used as the key to identify a shared memory
region that will house the environment.

Is that integer a sort of label or does it mean something else?

R.
