As a quick hack you can start the postmaster with smaller-than-
normal -B and -N (say -B 40 -N 20). Long term solution is to
increase your kernel's SHMMAX limit to more than 1 megabyte.
I thought we had adjusted the default -B and -N to stay just
under a meg, which is the default SHMMAX value on many kernels.
But it looks like someone chewed up some more shared memory when
I wasn't looking :-(.
