invalid memory alloc request

[Jessica Richard <rjessil@xxxxxxxxx>]

An insert query had been running fine until lately with the following memory error:

Can't execute statement: ERROR:
invalid memory alloc request size 18446744072762367400

It is running on Postgres 8.2.4, and the database size is less than 2G.

T he requested memory size is ridiculous high, does any one know what is causing this?

Thanks,
Jessica
