This appears to be the case. I ran:

SELECT max(length(docfilecontents::text)) FROM docfile;
  and after a very long time, got:
ERROR: invalid memory alloc request size 1636085512 SQL state: XX000

Ok, thanks for explaining this. Here is the current value:
"shared_buffers""131072""8kB"
 >It should be a single value something like this for the default:

The results I pasted were from:

SELECT * FROM pg_settings

Maybe I didn't get it the right way.

The system has only 4GB of RAM. I read that a reasonable swap size is 1/4 of RAM, so I've created a swap file of 1GB.

I would change the shared_buffers setting to 128MB and retry.
