Thank you for comments, did I mention the system is a beast?
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

It can not be the resource limit, it has to be something else. I assume this version of postgres is incompatible with
RedHatES 5. Changing to a newer version of postgres is not an option for now. It would take too much time to rewrite
theapplication to work with the changes introduced in the lastest realeses. I have tried PG 7.3.17 version an it works
fine,I just can not use it.
