echo 134217728 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
set's the maximum allowed segment! size to 128M. Shared
memory under Linux can be swapped, so if you have 256M
physical and run 3 postmasters, you can start all of them
with 64M (or more) and while they're idle they most likey
consume some swap space. But when it poors, they'll grab the
memory they need.
