pix_share_write might not be releasing the shm object correctly or at all.
I could only get one set up for a ~2.5MB buffer without rebooting to free up
more.  OSX might have changed the shmmax defaults to 4MB total in a recent
update as well.  I put it to 8MB and can now use a 1024x768x4 buffer after a
fresh reboot although changing it to one double that size using the set
message fails.
