And concretely this would be the fix, I think. But I don't have
Windows, and for reasons I haven't fathomed I haven't yet managed to
reproduce it by pushing a change of default min_dynamic_shared_memory
to CI. Is there any chance that a Postgres hacker on Windows could
confirm the above theory, and that the attached fixes it?
