Which could be because you're doing something nasty with one of the
"autocommit=off" clients. Most of the client libraries implement
this by doing "commit;begin;" at every commit. This means you have
way more idle in transaction connections than you think. Look in
pg_stat_activity, assuming you've turned on query echoing.
Or is enough do a ps -eafwww | grep post
to see the state of the connections
