Hi Adam, Rudi, and others,

It was not good summer for me.  This is second totally stupid bug from
me.  This time the reason is I tested the logic by flipping it around to
see it works, and accidentally wrong version end up to submission.

Here is the change from Adams attachment, with CC and Reviewed-by lines,
and round braces to ensure bc does calculation always in correct order.

Subject: tests: fix the ipcs test for shmall being too big to show

It was correct when originally introduced, but the shell overflow fix in
3a9ec12d6664527fad9c56347c88f3447d6c0856 accidentally reversed the sense
of the test.
