They're not _that_ off-the-wall:

morannon:~/pgdata>egrep 'sort_mem|shared_buffers' postgresql.conf
sort_mem = 32168
shared_buffers = 15200

morannon:~/pgdata>ipcs

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key       shmid     owner     perms     bytes     nattch    status
0x0052e2c1 163843    sauron    600       128688128 9

(My postgresql install runs as "sauron" - not "postgres", btw)

morannon:~/pgdata>cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
134217728
morannon:~/pgdata>uname -a
Linux morannon 2.4.13 #2 Mon Oct 29 23:52:00 CST 2001 i686 unknown
