looks like apple fixed /etc/rc

I just updated to 10.3.9 and of course the /etc/rc was
dinged. I opened the /etc/rc and found a change..

# System tuning
sysctl -w kern.maxvnodes=$(echo $(sysctl -n
hw.physmem) '33554432 / 512 * 1024 +p'|dc)
if [ -f /etc/sysctl-macosxserver.conf ]; then
awk '{ if (!index($1, "#") && index($1, "="))
print $1 }' < /etc/sysctl-macosxserver.conf | while
read
do
sysctl -w ${REPLY}
done
fi

if [ -f /etc/sysctl.conf ]; then
awk '{ if (!index($1, "#") && index($1, "="))
print $1 }' < /etc/sysctl.conf | while read
do
sysctl -w ${REPLY}
done
fi

sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=4194304
sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmin=1
sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmni=32
sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmseg=8
sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmall=1024

It appears that apple is checking for etc/sysctl.conf
before setting the sysctl values. so I created a
etc/sysctl.conf with this inside:

kern.sysv.shmmax=33554432
kern.sysv.shmmin=1
kern.sysv.shmmni=32
kern.sysv.shmseg=8
kern.sysv.shmall=65536

I did not alter /etc/rc. postgresql starts up just
fine. I hope this implys that the issue is resolved..
