We found no workaround. There is no explanation why Solaris would not
apply the /etc/system values. I think there is something more
sinister going on!
We reinstalled Solaris and were able to set the desired SHMMAX values
in /etc/system.
My guess? some system program was corrupt or zero bytes. I have seen
this before.
