Thanks for your report.
This is not a bug but a configuration issue. The error message says it all:
"2008-05-27 02:32:40 BST HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's
request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter.
You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger
SHMMAX. To reduce the request size (currently 39288832 bytes), reduce
PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 4096) and/or its
max_connections parameter (currently 103).
If the request size is already small, it's possible that it is less
than your kernel's SHMMIN parameter, in which case raising the request size or
reconfiguring SHMMIN is called for.
The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared
memory configuration.
"
You need to increase SHMMAX or reduce Postgresql's shared buffers. Check
http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+SHMMAX or read the Postgresql
documentation.
Feel free to submit any future bugs you may find.
