It passes all regression tests for me. But since I didn't see the
original problem, I can't confirm if it solves them.
I have put up a new binary from cvs today on
http://www.hagander.net/pgsql/postgres_shmem2.zip. For those of you who
have the problem, as before, copy this file and overwrite both
postgres.exe and postmaster.exe, then test and let us know if this one
also fixes things.
