I stopped my slave, lowered max_connections to 100 on the primary, restarted it, then started the slave back up and it wouldn't go:

2012-04-12 16:34:32 PDT FATAL:  hot standby is not possible because max_connections = 100 is a lower setting than on the master server (its value was 200)

Which, OK, it _was_ 200 but now it's definitely 100. Is there a reason this change cannot be made now?
