rmap ovflo message in syslog

[Catherine Forget]

Hi,

Does anyone know what these messages means? Is there a kernel parameter I can change not to get them anymore?
Thanks

How do I remove the "quad4map_32bit: rmap ovflo ..." message when running CATIA or VPM?
A. This message can appear in the CATIA launching window, or in /var/adm/syslog.log file or in the 'dmesg' output. The quad4map messages are caused by fragmentation in the 4th quadrant where shared objects are located. Try to increase the "shmmni" KL parameter to an higher value (default is 200) and reboot your system. "shmmni" specifies the maximum number of shared memory segments allowed to exist simultaneously, system-wide. The value cannot exceed 1024.
