Subject: PROBLEM: Postgres fails to start due to kernel issue?

Hi,
I noticed after upgrading to 3.2.0-08812-gc2bc3a3 that Postgres-9.1 server fails to start with error:
FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Function not implemented
DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001, size=30523392, 03600).
After some googling, I thought it was a SYSV shared memory sizing issue but manually changing kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall had no effect.
The problem has been introduced between 3.2.0-08694-g53999bf and 3.2.0-08812-gc2bc3a3.
Let me know if you need any more information. Bisecting is *very* slow on this machine!
