Oh, if it's trying to resize then this is dynamic shared memory, not
the small static block. On most platforms we use POSIX shm_open() for
that purpose, not SysV-style shm ... what have you got
dynamic_shared_memory_type set to?
It could be that the space limit applies to both APIs anyway, in which
case your choices are to raise the limit or disable parallel query.
