For many of the things in the mtune file, someone has picked what they
think is a "reasonable" maximum and not what is really the "true" 
maximum.  This is the case with the ULIMIT parameter and probably the 
SEMMNI parameter as well.  The only way to know is to change it, rebuild
the kernel, and reboot.
