Does the failure go away if you reboot? I'm wondering whether the
conflicting shared memory segment is simply left over from your last
failure. (Try "ipcs" if you have it; I don't think 10.2 did, but maybe
Apple saw the light for 10.3.)

We know that PG worked okay on 10.3 betas about a month back,
so I'm doubtful that there's any serious problem in 10.3 final.
Unfortunately I don't have a copy of 10.3 final yet to confirm ...
