Not my choice, just be glad I've managed to get Postgres involved at all. :)
The development is already finished, but the development box and the
production box are not the same OS. Not ideal conditions, but very much out
of my control.

Having to recompile initdb.c is probably not an option. I'll probably push
to get shmmax bumped up. Contrary to the other writer's assertion however,
Sybase and Oracle both installed properly without having to change shmmax.
If anyone familiar with these can assert that a low shmmax also affects
their performance, that would be helpful in my argument to bump it up for
the PG install.
