If the problem is at bottom a too low processes-per-user limit, as it
was for Jean-Gerard, then maybe the RAM-disk case passes because of
different timing details.  This theory is a bit of a stretch though.

In any case, we're being shown the wrong output.  What I want to know is
what appears in the postmaster log when these failures happen?
