Hi paul just found my system (24 GB Mem, 72 GB Swap) running nearly at it's limits: The current vaccum is using 66.7 GB (sixty-six dot seven) GB of memory and my System is nearly down. I'm sorry, but that must be an bug. Remember: It's the Analyze of an GIN-Index that is making that problems. Various tables - same Problem. Regards walter <http://postgresql.nabble.com/file/n5841074/top.png> duríng the last 10 Minutes vaccum took one more GB, now it's using 67.5 if mem. should i ask at the dev-list?
