Whats the plan to handle this wrt a stable release? We had one more report of
this on irc and I got two calls from clients already. And I don't have that
many clients.
It drives machines to OOM very quickly which isn't exactly good for the
reputation of pg's stable releases...

I CC'ed the guy reporting the problem on irc.
