Subject: help w/ shmat()

Under NetBSD 1.5.3++, shmat() is failing with ENOMEM. The port it
fails on is Atari, but the same operation works fine under Alpha and
i386 (also 1.5.3++). Apologies, the test code below has to be run
under ktrace for the symptom to be seen.
I do have the options SYSV{MSG,SEM,SHM} in my kernel config (plus,
the shmget() succeeding). I've tried unlimiting datasize w/ulimit
with no luck. Is there something else I'm forgetting to configure?
Any resource limits I'm not thinking of? If not, and it's a bug, is
there any use in submitting a PR, or is 1.5 retired?
Many thanks in advance,
