Cool. That fixes the problem I was having perfectly.

> Cause standalone backend (including bootstrap case) to read the GUC

> idea, and now seems the cleanest way to deal with initdb-time failures

> initdb.sh to pass the correct sizing parameters, but that would still
> leave standalone backends prone to failure later. An admin who needs
> to use a standalone backend has enough trouble already, he shouldn't
> have to manually configure its shmem settings...)
