} Anyone have any ideas on what specifically would cause this part of pgstat
} to fail?
Recompiling the kernel was necessary to change the shared memory limit, but
kern.ipc.maxsockets can be changed on the fly with sysctl. It might be
getting changed in one of the scripts (perhaps SystemTuning) in
/System/Library/StartupItems (there are also sometimes scripts in
/Library/StartupItems; both directories are used in the startup process).
When your system is up and running, try sysctl kern.ipc.maxsockets and see
if the value is what you expected. If not, dig around in the StartupItems
directories and see if something is changing it.
