The fix should be in 9.0 too. It might not appear in the 9.0 release
notes explicitly if 9.0 was branched off after the 8.4.1 release,
because then 9.0 would inherit all changes from 8.4.1.

I haven't verified if that's the case, but I haven't seen any "cannot
reattach to shared memory" errors reported here for some time, nor have
I had any on 9.0 during any of my Windows-based testing.

If you want to be totally 100% certain you can trace the fix to exactly
where it was applied in 9.0, check the revision history in git. See
http://git.postgresql.org/ .

There is a browse-able Web site for the Postgres Git repository:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=summary

To make things easier the commit you are looking for is:

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=a7e587863cab80b8896593f20b41e53d65155932

If you browse through the branch tagged 9.04(click on the tag name and then
tree) to the files mentioned in the above commit you will see it is present in
9.04.

It is fixed in every release from 8.3 on.

You can tell by looking for a message like the following in
the archives of the pgsql-committers mailing list:
