Thanks to Alan Davis:

" The SysV IPC specification limits the size of a single shared
memory segment to 2gb. An application may allocate many
segments to access as much shared memory as is required."

Original Question:

How can I get a larger than 2Gb max shared memory segment for usage by
Sybase ?
output from 'sysconfig -Q ipc':

shm-max - type=INT op=CQ min_val=0 max_val=2147483647
