Ok, rerun the query in another 8.0.3 box, it comes with 1G RAM and it's
linux,
without the 512M data segment limit (ulimit -d unlimited)。Load the data
and run vacuum analyze; then run the query, now the query return the result,
through top, we found that the postmaster process used 600+M RAM, the
enable_hashagg is ON.

wish that helps.
