Actually, now that I look at it, it's even more obvious that this is the
wrong thing because *all the subprocess types in question already call
PGSharedMemoryDetach*.  That's necessary on Unix, but I should think that
on Windows all it will do is provoke the log message:

            elog(LOG, "could not unmap view of shared memory: error code %lu", 
GetLastError());

Could someone confirm whether syslogger, archiver, stats collector
processes reliably produce that log message at startup on Windows?
