Anybody know *why* Gentoo does such a thing? Having shared buffers at the very lowest possible boundary just seems counterproductive. Plus, the normal way to set these things would be in postgresql.conf, why override them on the commandline?

It's not the first time I've seen people complain about this, it'd be good to know why.
It's been brought up on the Gentoo bugzilla (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206725), so hopefully something will come of that.

Those are not comments on the actual patch, of course. For that one, it looks to me like it's the wrong fix. I don't think we should be adding to shared buffers like that - if somebody asked for a specific value they should get that. But in that case the error message needs to be changed, since it's misleading.
If we follow that logic, there shouldn't be an error message at all. ;-)

Cheers,
Andreas
