"Amos" This is not a bug. Your PostgreSQL install is misconfigured - you have told it to use more memory than you have. Use a reasonable number of max_connections, maybe as few as 20 or 30, and set c3p0 (your connection pooler) to use one or two fewer than that. Your webapp's clients should share the connections, and you should get MUCH, MUCH better results that way, because your machine will spend less time thrashing and more time getting real work done.
