Hi,

    Sometime ago I posted a message here asking for help as I was having
trouble compiling postgresql on netbsd 1.5. I tried to force 100
backends but I got that error:

---
IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget failed (No space left on device) key=5432017,
num=16, permission=600
This type of error is usually caused by an improper
shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration.
For more information, see the FAQ and platform-specific
FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our
web site at http://www.postgresql.org.
FATAL 1:  InitProcGlobal: IpcSemaphoreCreate failed
---

    Then I compiled it successfully with it's default value (32), but
now I have to increase the number of backends. When I used -B 200 -N 100
as parameters, this message is returned again.
    I was looking for support on netbsd's documentation but there's (at
least I didn't find) nothing. Postgresql's documentation says I have to
increate the number of semaphores in the kernel, but there's no "number
of semaphores" cfg option.

    Need help. Thanks in advance.
