I think the error message gives a hint that the limit is the max value that can be represented by size_t, which would most likely be 2^32 on a 32-bit machine and 2^64 on a 64 machine. But I understand that it might be a good idea to print the numeric value based on the known value of size_t The other part about what caused the overflow is a bit tricky because even if the overflow got detected while adding size information for some GUC, the real culprit might be something else and it will difficult to find what caused the overflow. It would be a combination of settings that will lead to this error. I guess you must be running a 32-bit machine because causing this error on a 64-bit machine will take some serious over-setting for a number of parameters.
