PostgreSQL version: 8.1.X
Operating system: Windows 2000 Server
Description: BUG #2419: could not reattach to shared memory
Details:

I have this problem since 3 weeks ago. In my case when the server startup PG
starts but don't accepts any connections. If I stop and start de PG the
problem stops e I work nomally until shutdown the server. The environment is
the folowing:

W2K, PG 8.1.2, Avast antivirus.

I try upgrade to PG 8.1.4 using the upgrade.bat. When the upgrade process
finished and after the restart the problem occurs.
I try backup my database and uninstall PG 8.1.2 and delete PG tree, then I
install PG 8.1.4 and restore the backuped database. Well ... after the
restart the problem occurs too.

Can you help me with any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
