 Hi there
 I've had posgres installed now for a while, it has been working allright,
no problems
but today, when I tried to start the postmaster as I allways do, by issuing
the command
"postmaster ", well then it responded back that it could not allocate
shared memory,
don't rememeber the extact phrase but anyway...
Is it anyone outthere who's got a clue of what's happend, I do believe that
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and the PGDATA as well as PG... (well the other one) is correctly set.

please get back to me if ya know what I'm doing wrong

regards
