What is did do is just set the the shmmax really high on the container
sysctl. That way it wouldn't matter that there is less shared memory than
there's supposed to be.

I have not yet been able to reproduce the error.
Though this does make me feel a little stupid, it seems to make sense and
work too.
I'll post back if the error does come up again.

Thanks a lot for all the help,
