Sorry, this isn't a solution (up to now)
I sometimes worried about if calculating the IPC key values
by hand is a good thing. Shouldn't we change it to use ftok()
on some file that MUST be there (like $PGDATA/PG_VERSION)
instead of the current implementation?
For platforms that don't have ftok() (is there any?), there
surely should be some configure time fallback to the current
behaviour.
