Actually, if it is a newer kernel, it's possible that there is more than that.  
I know that the kernel has changed how it reports shared memory size 
recently.  I really don't know the gory details, just that it has broken 
quite a few things that used to depend on that (such as apache VMonitor, and 
related tools).

might be something too look at.  I know there was a discussion about it on the 
LKML coming from the mod_perl group.
