Also, the fact that it's trying to allocate exactly 128MB lets out a lot of possibilities --- that has to be a single huge request, not just the end result of a boatload of little ones. So it probably isn't a memory leak per se. One time that we've seen something like this before is when someone had a COPY datafile that had had its newlines munged, such that COPY thought it was all one long line and tried to read it all in at once. What's the history of your datafile --- has it maybe gotten passed through a Windows newline conversion? regards, tom lane
