When I start postmaster, I get the following:

IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget failed (No space left on device) key = ...

I know that this is caused by not having enough semaphores and can be
fixed by increasing some settings.

However, it normall works fine with the setting, and a nasty
crash killed it this morning.  I think that for some reason, some
semaphores are still being held.  I have ps -aux'd and killed all the
postgresql processes, and have erased all my files in the /tmp
directory.  What else can I do?

Thanks,
