	The "segments" are a System V feature that are a form of
interprocess communication and have no relation to Intel segments.
They are not too easy to implement on Intel chips.

	Of course huge/large/small/medium  and so on are Intelisms.
Sorry about that.  I was thinking that the implementation
used virtual memory.   The "four megabyte shared memory
segements" would often be bigger than memory.
