Thats normal because I used "kill -9 postmaster" to shut down.
The hint advises me to use "ipcrm", but there's the "ipcclean" script in

The attached patch replaces all occurances of "ipcrm" with "ipcclean" in

2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.
3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore

I have attached the following seven patches to address this problem:
1. Trivial. Replaces some errant spaces with tabs.
2. Trivial. Fixes the spelling of Jan's name, and gets rid of many
inane, useless, annoying, and often misleading comments. Here's
a sample: "plperl_init_all() - Initialize all".
(I have tried to add some useful comments here and there, and will
continue to do so now and again.)
3. Trivial. Splits up some long lines.
4. Converts SRFs in PL/Perl to use a Tuplestore and SFRM_Materialize
to return the result set, based on the PL/PgSQL model.
There are two major consequences: result sets will spill to disk when
they can no longer fit in work_mem; and "select foo_srf()" no longer
works. (I didn't lose sleep over the latter, since that form is not
valid in PL/PgSQL, and it's not documented in PL/Perl.)
5. Trivial, but important. Fixes use of "undef" instead of undef. This
would cause empty functions to fail in bizarre ways. I suspect that
there's still another (old) bug here. I'll investigate further.
6. Moves the majority of (4) out into a new plperl_return_next()
function, to make it possible to expose the functionality to
Perl; cleans up some of the code besides.
7. Add an spi_return_next function for use in Perl code.
If you want to apply the patches and try them out, 8-composite.diff is
what you should use. (Note: my patches depend upon Andrew's use-strict
and %_SHARED patches being applied.)
Here's something to try:
create or replace function foo() returns setof record as $$
$i = 0;
for ("World", "PostgreSQL", "PL/Perl") {
spi_return_next({f1=>++$i, f2=>'Hello', f3=>$_});
}
return;
$$ language plperl;
select * from foo() as (f1 integer, f2 text, f3 text);

Revise handling of dropped columns in JOIN alias lists to avoid a
performance problem pointed out by phil@vodafone: to wit, we were
spending O(N^2) time to check dropped-ness in an N-deep join tree,
even in the case where the tree was freshly constructed and couldn't
possibly mention any dropped columns. Instead of recursing in
get_rte_attribute_is_dropped(), change the data structure definition:
the joinaliasvars list of a JOIN RTE must have a NULL Const instead
of a Var at any position that references a now-dropped column. This
costs nothing during normal parse-rewrite-plan path, and instead we
have a linear-time update to make when loading a stored rule that
might contain now-dropped columns. While at it, move the responsibility
for acquring locks on relations referenced by rules into this separate
function (which I therefore chose to call AcquireRewriteLocks).
This saves effort --- namely, duplicated lock grabs in parser and rewriter
--- in the normal path at a cost of one extra non-locked heap_open()
in the stored-rule path; seems a good tradeoff. A fringe benefit is
that it is now *much* clearer that we acquire lock on relations referenced
in rules before we make any rewriter decisions based on their properties.
(I don't know of any bug of that ilk, but it wasn't exactly clear before.)

Have psql escape bytes in strings for variables follow the backend
conventions of only allowing octal, like \045. Remove support for
\decimal, \0octal, and \0xhex which matches the strtol() function but
didn't make sense with backslashes.
These now return the same character:
test=> \set x '\54'
test=> \echo :x
,
test=> \set x '\054'
test=> \echo :x
,
THIS IS A BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY CHANGE.

When enqueueing after-row triggers for updates of a table with a foreign
key, compare the new and old row versions. If the foreign key column has
not changed, we needn't enqueue the trigger, since the update cannot
violate the foreign key. This optimization was previously applied in the
RI trigger function, but it is more efficient to avoid firing the trigger
altogether. Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers.
Also add a regression test for some unintuitive foreign key behavior, and
refactor some code that deals with the OIDs of the various RI trigger
functions.

Create separate ON INSERT and ON UPDATE triggers on tables with foreign
keys, rather than a single trigger for both events. This should not change
functionality, but it is more consistent: previously, there were trigger
functions for both "check_insert" and "check_update", but the former was
used for both events.
Bump catalog version number (not strictly necessary, but best to be
cautious).

Skip eval_const_expressions when the query is such that the expression

Avoid unnecessary fetch from pg_shadow in the normal case in

pg_shadow.usecatupd, and that's not relevant unless the target table

Improve LockAcquire API per my recent proposal. All error conditions
are now reported via elog, eliminating the need to test the result code

freshly acquired lock from one already held in the current transaction.

Remove typeidIsValid() checks in can_coerce_type(). These checks
were pretty expensive and I believe the case they were put in to
defend against can no longer arise, now that we have dependency checks
to prevent deletion of a type entry that is still referenced. Certainly
the example given in the CVS log entry can't happen anymore.
Since this was the only use of typeidIsValid(), remove the routine too.

Modify hash_search() API to prevent future occurrences of the error
spotted by Qingqing Zhou. The HASH_ENTER action now automatically
fails with elog(ERROR) on out-of-memory --- which incidentally lets
us eliminate duplicate error checks in quite a bunch of places. If
you really need the old return-NULL-on-out-of-memory behavior, you
can ask for HASH_ENTER_NULL. But there is now an Assert in that path
checking that you aren't hoping to get that behavior in a palloc-based
hash table.
Along the way, remove the old HASH_FIND_SAVE/HASH_REMOVE_SAVED actions,
which were not being used anywhere anymore, and were surely too ugly
and unsafe to want to see revived again.

Arrange to cache fmgr lookup information for an index's access method
routines in the index's relcache entry, instead of doing a fresh fmgr_info
on every index access. We were already doing this for the index's opclass
support functions; not sure why we didn't think to do it for the AM
functions too. This supersedes the former method of caching (only)
amgettuple in indexscan scan descriptors; it's an improvement because the
function lookup can be amortized across multiple statements instead of
being repeated for each statement. Even though lookup for builtin
functions is pretty cheap, this seems to drop a percent or two off some
simple benchmarks.
