Installing postgres on a Solaris 8 system for personal use, I discovered that initdb exceeded the shared memory available on my system (Default settings). There's enough to run the database, but initdb doesn't probe to low enough values:
for nconns in 100 50 40 30 20 10 for nbuffers in 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 50 10/50 is too large, the largest Solaris can handle without changing the defaults is 10/46. I think it'd be a good idea if initdb probed at least a little lower here, say to a buffer size of 25, to let it install on Solaris with default shmem settings.
