Hi,

I noticed after upgrading to 3.2.0-08812-gc2bc3a3 that Postgres-9.1
server
fails to start with error:

FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Function not
implemented
DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001, size=30523392,
03600).
After some googling, I thought it was a SYSV shared memory sizing
issue but
manually changing kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall had no effect.

The problem has been introduced between 3.2.0-08694-g53999bf and
3.2.0-08812-gc2bc3a3.

Let me know if you need any more information. Bisecting is *very*
slow on
this machine!
If you run strace on it, does it fail with ENOSYS? This might be
related to an issue Peter just fixed.
