Yes, as Tom pointed out. Sorry, I misread the autoconf file. I've
gotten quite used to Darwin == BSD.
I've added a note to my todo list to look into the posix semaphore
performance on the Darwin side.

Either way, Essentially, no one is running out of shared memory due
to semaphores.
In this case, semaphore usage is unrelated to shared memory
shortages.
Yes, of course, shared memory is not related to semaphores.
Also, on many platforms the posix_sema's code is used.
Really? When I run 'configure' without any parameter on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.0 (kernel 2.6.x), PostgreSQL uses SysV semaphores.
I confirmed that by seeing the result of 'ipcs -u'. What platforms is
POSIX sema used by PostgreSQL by default?
