Errr, and to get back to the to-do (which I've been considering doing
something about...), it's to allow the *actual* memory usage for things
like sorts to use more than 2GB, but as others have pointed out, you can
do that by putting pgsql_tmp on a memory filesystem and letting the
sorts spill to the memory-based FS.
Thanks,
