On *nix systems shmop_open is able to create an "infinite" amount of segments when setting $key = 0.
After executing the following command twice in an interactive shell
php > $res = shmop_open(0,"n",0600,1024);
list the memory segments currently present
$ ipcs -m
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
0x00000000 2293762 user 600 1024 0
0x00000000 2326531 user 600 1024 0
For any integer <> 0 in conjunction with the flag "n" shmop_open works like documented. It fails.
