Another issue that I've pointed out to them off-list is that the default
SysV shared-memory limits need to be raised considerably. With OS X's
default SHMMAX it's practically impossible to start two concurrent
postmasters at all, and it's definitely impossible to do so with
reasonable shared_buffers values.
