Tom Lane 8073cd2e6c Add code to InternalIpcMemoryCreate() to handle the case where shmget()
returns EINVAL for an existing shared memory segment.  Although it's not
terribly sensible, that behavior does meet the POSIX spec because EINVAL
is the appropriate error code when the existing segment is smaller than the
requested size, and the spec explicitly disclaims any particular ordering of
error checks.  Moreover, it does in fact happen on OS X and probably other
BSD-derived kernels.  (We were able to talk NetBSD into changing their code,
but purging that behavior from the wild completely seems unlikely to happen.)
We need to distinguish collision with a pre-existing segment from invalid size
request in order to behave sensibly, so it's worth some extra code here to get
it right.  Per report from Gavin Kistner and subsequent investigation.

Back-patch to all supported versions, since any of them could get used
with a kernel having the debatable behavior.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the
PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate
maintenance.  A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
