If the postmaster starts up, then he's got shared memory configured
high enough for the number of buffers and backends he's asking for.
My bet is he's got a startup script or postmaster.opts file that's
setting maxbackends to some fairly small number. Changing the default
maxbackends in the build is a complete waste of time, really, since it
can be overridden in any case by a command line switch or options file.
