Not sure this is a bug, but I'm seeing the following message:

pg_ctl: another postmaster may be running; trying to start
postmaster anyway
FATAL: pre-existing shared memory block (key 9812001, ID 655374)
is still in use
HINT: If you're sure there are no old server processes still
running, remove the shared memory block with the command
"ipcclean", "ipcrm", or just delete the file "postmaster.pid".
pg_ctl: could not start postmaster
Examine the log output.
pg_ctl: neither postmaster nor postgres running

However, ipcs shows there is no shared memory block in use:

$ ipcs

What platform is that?

Perhaps you need some non-default switches to ipcs to see all memory
segments? Otherwise, it seems that either your kernel or ipcs is broken.
