Thanks. Pushed.
One more thing I spotted, post commit: the example symptom of
systemd's RemoveIPC feature trashing your cluster is an error from
semctl(), but that can't happen anymore on a standard build. Not sure
what to put in its place... I guess the remaining symptoms would be
(1) the little "interlock" shmem segment is unregistered, which is
probably symptom-free (until you start a second postmaster in the same
pgdata), and (2) POSIX shm objects getting unlinked underneath a
parallel query. That's probably what this build farm animal was
telling me:
