I'm guessing your query is returning a lot of data and the export
itself is not being produced with COPY. As such, you are subject to
the limits of the 32 bit libpq you are probably using (or if you are
using 64 bit, you are well and truly running out of memory).

Solution to move forward.
learn COPY and psql \copy. Refer documentation.
