Since this fixes a very annoying bug present in older versions, I think
this should be backpatched all the way back to 8.2.

Some notes about the patch itself:

- please use ereport() instead of elog() for error messages
- Are you really putting the pgwin32_ReserveSharedMemory declaration
inside a function? Please move that into the appropriate header file.
- Failure to reserve memory in pgwin32_ReserveSharedMemory should be a
FATAL error I think, not simply LOG.
