Assuming you're talking about some C extension, you have to request in
_PG_INIT() the amount of shmem you'll need, with RequestAddinShmemSpace().
You can see an example in pg_stat_statements.c how it's done (_PG_INIT() and
pgss_shmem_startup()).
Asking a small amount probably works because some shared memory is requested
but not totally used as soon as the server starts.
