Accessing PostgreSQL Database Crashes Server

I have the exact same problem that Alexei Tenitski has.

I have no problems initializing and starting the PostgreSQL database server (using postmaster or as an Windows service).

However, as soon as I attempt to use the database (using make checkinstall or psql), the server crashes/stops and outputs the following error:

>>>>>

ZeroProcSemaphore: semctl(id=0,SETVAL) failed: Invalid argument
DEBUG: server process (pid 1108) exited with exit code 255
DEBUG: terminating any other active server processes
DEBUG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing shared memory and semaph
ores
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=655360, 03600) failed: Not enough memo
ry

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 655360 bytes), reduce
PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 16) and/or
its max_connections parameter (currently 8).

The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about
shared memory configuration.

I have played with shared_buffers and max_connections with no luck.

Has anyone figure out what the problem is? All help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad Wilkins
