Looks like the memory consumption is here:

Perhaps you should look into the memory limits on your postmaster, as
falling over after 300MB doesn't seem very sane for any reasonably
modern machine. However, the real answer is probably to drop whatever
after-row triggers you've got on the target table (perhaps FOREIGN KEY
constraints?) and re-establish the constraints after doing the import.
There's been some speculation about better ways to manage mass updates
of foreign key constraints, but nobody's done anything about it yet...
