Errr, and to get back to the to-do (which I've been considering doing something about...), it's to allow the *actual* memory usage for things like sorts to use more than 2GB, but as others have pointed out, you can do that by putting pgsql_tmp on a memory filesystem and letting the sorts spill to the memory-based FS.
