OK, let's see where we are at the end of the week.  Take it as far as
you can.  I am curious what you see in the backend.

People are reporting more memory problems than in 6.1.  It may be psql,
or libpq, or it may be a few things that we added to the backend that
are causing problems.

When people are running the regression tests multiple times and seeing
errors, how are you doing that?  Doesn't the backend and psql restart on
every iteration?  Is it the postmaster that is growing too big?
