Was working on some documentation today and I realized that I've taken for 
granted the lore about not using large values for shared_buffers in 
Windows without ever understanding why.  Can someone explain what the 
underlying mechanism that causes that limitation is?  From poking the 
archives I got the impression it was some page mapping issue but details 
are elusive.
