SysV shared memory isn't that relevant to Postgres anymore. Most
of what we allocate goes into POSIX-style shared memory segments,
which are not shown by "ipcs". We do still create one small
fixed-size data structure in SysV memory, which is what you're
seeing here, for arcane reasons having to do with the lifespan of
the shared memory segments being different in those two APIs.

This seems to indicate that you're hitting some kernel limit on
the amount of POSIX shared memory. Not sure where to look for
that.
