 *
 * Historical note:
 * A long time ago, Postgres' shared memory region was allowed to be mapped
 * at a different address in each process, and shared memory "pointers" were
 * passed around as offsets relative to the start of the shared memory region.
 * That is no longer the case: each process must map the shared memory region
 * at the same address.  This means shared memory pointers can be passed
 * around directly between different processes.
