I'm not sure what magic you have in there, but this incantation copied verbatim worked for me. Thanks!

The first sysctl.conf I tried that didn't work from from the one-click installer's README. Do you see anything about
thefollowing settings that jumps out at you as bad? Is it notable that yours don't set the maxproc*? 

kern.sysv.shmmax=1610612736
kern.sysv.shmall=393216
kern.sysv.shmmin=1
kern.sysv.shmmni=32
kern.sysv.shmseg=8
kern.maxprocperuid=512
kern.maxproc=2048
