Well, it was over a year ago.  basically what happened was that whenever i
set the value to be anything greater than 32, postmaster failed to start.
bring it back down to a value less than or equal to 32, and it started up
fine.  after recompiling postgresql with a hardcoded value of 64, then i
was able to increase it in postgresql.conf.
