It should not; there is something wrong here, not merely a documentation
problem.  I am wondering whether your 7.4 build fails to select a TAS()
implementation --- if so, it would fall back to implementing spinlocks
as semaphores, which would translate to a huge increase in the number of
semaphores requested, which would likely result in this symptom.  Can
you strace the postmaster launch and see how many semget()s it does
before dying?
