Looked at the record in question and the length of the long column in that

If that actually is the length of the line, the only answer is to raise
the memory ulimit setting the postmaster runs under.
The memory limit is 1.6GB.
/boot/loader.conf
kern.ipc.semmni=256
kern.ipc.semmns=512
kern.ipc.semmnu=256
kern.maxdsiz="1600MB" #1.6GB
kern.dfldsiz="1600MB" #1.6GB
kern.maxssiz="128M" # 128MB
Also I have several postgress processes in the 400M+ size as reported by top
