I get that we can't prevent all pilot error, but I was hoping we could bullet-proof this a little more, especially in light of a certain extremely popular server OS's OOM killer's default behavior. Yes, I get that that behavior is crazy, and stupid, and that people should shut it off, but it *is* our problem if we let the postmaster start (or continue) when it's set that way.
