Research direction

Reproduce the HermesShm failure with the reported Hermes configurations while applying ulimit, then compare the behavior with ulimit disabled. Trace the hshm::Exception and identify the resource-limit interaction; done means Hermes works under a valid ulimit without throwing the exception.

Description

priority-medium

HermesShm fails when using ulimit, even with proper Hermes configurations. ulimit value -- even massive ones -- cause exceptions to be thrown.

Without ulimit, Hermes works just fine.
