Likely theories include:
* You did the reload wrong. You did not mention exactly how
you did it, so it's hard to speculate about this.
* You did the parameter change in postgresql.conf wrong. A typical gotcha
is forgetting to remove the comment marker '#', but any sort of syntax
error will cause Postgres to not process the change.
