Using a snapshot of September the 4th:
creating template1 database in /p/scratch/asmodai/postgresql-snapshot/src/test/r
egress/./tmp_check/data/base/1... FATAL: could not create semaphores: No space
left on device
DETAIL: Failed syscall was semget(4, 17, 03600).
HINT: This error does *not* mean that you have run out of disk space.
It occurs when either the system limit for the maximum number of semaphore sets
(SEMMNI), or the system wide maximum number of semaphores (SEMMNS), would be exc
eeded. You need to raise the respective kernel parameter. Alternatively, reduc
e PostgreSQL's consumption of semaphores by reducing its max_connections paramet
er (currently 10).
I mean, I just want to know if you guys still want to support the low
SysV settings. If not I just need to ask the admins of the system in
question to bump the values a bit.
Otherwise I'll keep pestering. :)

In my mind nothing makes sense...
