I have a couple users trying to install Postgres on OS X. To the best
of my knowledge, both of them are using 7.4.5/10.3.5, and got identical
errors while trying to init the database:
Reducing the shared buffers didn't help.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

could not create shared memory segment: Cannot allocate memory
DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=1, size=1081344, 03600).
HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared
memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space. To reduce the
request size (currently 1081344 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's
shared_buffers parameter (currently 50) and/or its max_connections
parameter (currently 10).
The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about
shared memory configuration.
