Looking more closely into it, the postmaster is trying to allocate 64
semaphores in four groups of 16, so I built a new kernel with a higher
limit, and it's now OK.

This is as it should be, I hope?  It's not a case of something being
misconfigured now, using semaphores instead of some other facility?
