Egad.  Yes.  Quite aside from whether the specific values are sane,
the launch script has utterly no business setting any such parameters
on the postmaster command line anyway --- it should be leaving them to
the configuration file.  (initdb will normally put values that are at
least minimally sane into the config file.  What do you see for
max_connections and shared_buffers in postgresql.conf?)
