Description:
------------
http://news.php.net/php.pecl.dev/4094

I specified (coming from shm mode) to use
2 shm-segments of 30M size and was very confused to see
only 30M used in mmap mode.
Like Derick said in his post, one would expect that mmap
used 2 x 30M in that configuration, even if it would be 
one segment only.
One shouldn't loose half of the specified memory for apc when switching modes ;).

There is absolutely no point in using multiple mmap segments.  The only fix here would be to throw a warning.

Does it make more sense to trow an error or to assume the user wants (apc.shm_segments * apc.shm_size) as suggested?  I would lean towards error just so it's clear.

There is now a startup warning if a value other than 1 is seen for this shm_segments in MMAP mode.
