Just so that this summation does not stay uncorrected: The major
discrepancy accrued because my values for shared disk buffers and WAL
buffers were wrong. They must be calculated as
Shared disk buffers = (1 + 208/8192) * 400MB = 430080000 Bytes
WAL buffers = (1 + 8/8192) * 16MB = 16793600 Bytes
Then, the corrected sum is 449627320 Bytes, which is only about 2MB less
than was requested. This remaining discrepancy can probably be explained
by additional overhead for a PostgreSQL 9.1 64bit server vs. a
PostgreSQL 8.3 32bit server for which the table was valid.
