What I'd really like to have is an strace of the postmaster when it
produces this error. If you're lucky, the failure will be repeatable
(ie, try to start the postmaster again and it fails again with same
error) and you can just strace it at that point. If it isn't repeatable
in that sense, that in itself is useful information, but capturing an
strace will be painful :-(
Also, if it is repeatable, "ipcs -m" output will be useful context.
