A bit of quick googling confirmed that there is (or can be) a per-zone memory cap. I'll bet Greg has nailed it. The docs I found claim that the cap management code is smart enough to count shared memory only once, which would eliminate the most obvious way in which the cap might be way off; but it still sounds like checking into that configuration setting is job #1. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
