Joachim,

I checked your improvement and fix some problem with following scenario:

shared_buffers = 3301
START
share_buffers = 333.39
HUP
share_buffers requires integer value. Skip configuration file
#share_buffers = 3301
HUP
.... silent - no message

I performed some cleanup in my code as well. I reduced some conditions,
which cannot occur and fixed context validation in the
set_config_options function. I hope that It is final version of our patch.

    Thanks for cooperation
            Zdenek
