This is the Pg backend line from top after about 90 minutes runtime :

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
16083 postgres 17 0 9172 9172 8524 R 94.7 2.4 84:59.68 postmaster

No sign of the shared growth stopping at this stage...

Pg built with --disable-debug --without-zlib

Platform is Linux 2.4.21+ xfs (Mandrake 9.2beta)
