however, much like apache, this might not have gotten caught. In
order to catch it we'd have to see how much shared mem was available,
and I think you have to actually allocate it to find out if you can.
Since pg is already running, allocating shared_buffers / fsm twice
might fail when allocating it once would succeed.
