Actually, after re-reading what PGSharedMemoryIsInUse does, I don't
think you want to use it: it goes to considerable lengths to avoid
returning a false positive, whereas in this context I believe we
*do* need to avoid segments that belong to other data directories.
So you probably need a separate chunk of code that only does the
nattch test.
