I am curious about the last remark, can you priovide more details on
issues for new uses because lack of memory? I haven't noticed and such
report on mailling lists or issue tracker later, whondering if it is
some particular use case that can lead to this issue.

Because a start of kamailio with default config file is using less than
3MB of shared memory, being plenty of space to fill up to 64MB with
registrations, transactions, etc... states taken a few minutes ago with
git master branch:

    "shmem:max_used_size = 2836288",
    "shmem:real_used_size = 2836288",
    "shmem:used_size = 2594376"

Then, my actual remark is that I think the new users tend to use the
packages, which use init.d/systemd to start kamailio, and there are
values for pkg and shm sizes in the unit files, so this change doesn't
really make a difference, because kamailio is started with different -m
and -M command line parameters.

Cheers,
Daniel
