It would be useful to look at the detailed allocation info that this
(should have) put into the postmaster log. Also, if you could get
a stack trace back from the error, that would be even more useful.
To do that,
* start psql
* determine PID of connected backend (use pg_backend_pid())
* in another window, as postgres user,
gdb /path/to/postgres backend-PID
gdb> break errfinish
gdb> cont
* issue failing command in psql
* when breakpoint is reached,
gdb> bt
... stack trace printed here ...
gdb> q
