Hi

I rechecked all <work_mem_vars>, that depend on MAX_KILOBYTES limit and
fixed
all casts that are affected by 4-bytes long type in Windows 64-bit. Now
next variables are limited by 2TB in all 64-bit systems:
maintenance_work_mem
work_mem
logical_decoding_work_mem
max_stack_depth
autovacuum_work_mem
gin_pending_list_limit
wal_skip_threshold
Also wal_keep_size_mb, min_wal_size_mb, max_wal_size_mb,
max_slot_wal_keep_size_mb are not affected by "long" cast.
