The error that shows up is a Bus error.
That's on the replication slave.
Here's the log about it:
2014-03-29 12:41:33 CET db: ip: us: FATAL: could not receive data from WAL
stream: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.

No, not at the moment. I just want to make sure that i can rely on the
server and database to be stable. Or at least that i know what i can and
can't do.

Maybe there is something to won by guaranteeing the shared memory
resources, instead of just refraining from constraining them.

I'll look into the bean counters.

That value is "unlimited"
