But is this the case when doing 'make check'?   I see this in postinit.c:

/*
 

                 * We're running a postgres bootstrap process or a
standalone backend.
                 * Create private "shmem" and
semaphores.

                 */
                CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(true, 0);

where 0 is the port.

Since the ENOMEM problem occurs in a simple shared memory test program,
I'm inquiring on an Apple dev list.
