Don't worry about them, they'll be cleaned out on re-use. What you need to find is the system catalog corruption that is causing memory bloat during a CREATE TABLE. Does a SELECT * FROM pg_class show any problem? How about pg_attribute and pg_type? If plain SELECT is OK then the issue is likely index corruption, which you could fix with REINDEX. regards, tom lane
