In my case /var/log/upstart/procps.log says:
error: "Invalid argument" setting key "kernel.shmmax"

kernel.shmmax is defined in /etc/sysctl.d/30-postgresql-shm.conf but it's 
commented out:
#kernel.shmmax = ...
#kernel.shmall = ...

I tried to rename kernel.shmmax to k_ernel.shmmax in case it doesn't
detect it's a comment for some reason but that didn't make any
difference.

I'm also on an OpenVZ container, my other boxes aren't affected by the
bug.
