What distro / kernel version of linux are you running? We have a
similar issue with late model hardware and RHEL4 recently here at work,
where our workstations are running out of memory. They aren't running
postgresql, they're java dev workstations and it appears to be a RHEL4
on 64 bit problem, so that's why I ask.
Linux 2.6.21-gentoo #2 SMP x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5130 GNU/Linux
I wonder if you could try it with the Uniprocessor kernel and see if
your problem goes away.
FYI, the machines we're having the problem with are RHEL4 with a kernel of:
Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 16:36:54 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Note that 2.6.9-55 in RHEL speak is probably closer to 2.6.21 than
2.6.9, since they back port tons of stuff, but keep the same version number.
