It should not; there is something wrong here, not merely a documentation problem. I am wondering whether your 7.4 build fails to select a TAS() implementation --- if so, it would fall back to implementing spinlocks as semaphores, which would translate to a huge increase in the number of semaphores requested, which would likely result in this symptom. Can you strace the postmaster launch and see how many semget()s it does before dying? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
