This is a server error message (which is why the stracktrace starts at
parseServerError, although perhaps it shouldn't). This means the
postgresql server ran out of memory, but you haven't provided any
information as to why that is. You should check the server error log for
more information. The key thing to check would be the actual query being
run. Is it using a bad plan query plan? What other activity is going on
at this time? How much memory do you have?
