Was working on some documentation today and I realized that I've taken for
granted the lore about not using large values for shared_buffers in
Windows without ever understanding why. Can someone explain what the
underlying mechanism that causes that limitation is? From poking the
archives I got the impression it was some page mapping issue but details
are elusive.
