sorry -- it's a shell thing. do a man on whatever shell you're using and it
should explain. C shells (and derivatives) use limit; Bourne shells (and
derivatives) use ulimit.

basically just kill the postmaster, run one of these commands, and restart
the postmaster and things should be fine...

for csh/tcsh:
% limit datasize 64m

for sh/bash:
$ ulimit -d 65536

there's also something in one of the FAQ's; search for "palloc" should find
it
