I should have mentioned this previously: running the same query against the
same data on 8.1.5 does not result in a hash aggregate plan or an out of
memory error. (Note: the hardware is different but very similar -- the main
difference is the 8.1.9 server (with the error) has faster disks)

Thanks Tom. Here's more info:
What have you got work_mem set to?

What's the actual number of groups

Approximately 40 million (I'll have a more precise number when the query
finishes running ).
Maybe this helps?
crystal=> select null_frac, n_distinct, correlation from pg_stats where
tablename = 'page_page_link' and attname = 'target_page_id';
null_frac | n_distinct | correlation

0 | 550017 | 0.240603
