If you still have logs, was it killed during a large query? Perhaps one using
a hash aggregate?

"resident" RAM of a postgres subprocess is often just be the fraction of
shared_buffers it's read/written. checkpointer must necessarily read all dirty
pages from s-b and write out to disk (by way of page cache), so that's why its
RSS is nearly 32GB. And the recovery process is continuously writing into s-b.

Also, what is work_mem ?
