	Hi when i run postmaster i got the following error and
	postmaser doesn't start,

	FATAL 1:  InitProcGlobal: IpcSemaphoreCreate failed
	IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget failed (No space left on device) key=8888014,
	num=16, permission=600
	This type of error is usually caused by an improper
	shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration.
	For more information, see the FAQ and platform-specific
	FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our

	
	i made query to admin and the max shared mem setting is already
	set to the max possible

	*
	* IPC Shared Memory
	*
	4294967295      max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)
     		1  min shared memory segment size (SHMMIN)
   		100  shared memory identifiers (SHMMNI)
    		10  max attached shm segments per process (SHMSEG)

	
	I tried -N and -B but didn't have luck. Could anyone help me on
	this? This problem appeared after admin changed their config 
	i believe, could that be it?

	Thanks
