Ooops, forgot to add this last time, so am repeating.
I'm on a Sun Sparc Classic, uname -a gives:

postmaster -i reports:
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Invalid argument) key=5432001, size=1073152, permission=600

Test Case:
----------
Just compile the program and install as per instructions, then initdb and try postmaster -i
