Then it's definitely symptomatic of a memory config problem.  I'd say
that when queries get very large, pgsql is trying to use memory that
doesn't exist.  Possibilites: you've set shared_buffers or sort_mem much
too high; your machine is chronically low on memory; you have some kind
of kernel config problem; you have a bad RAM card.

Good luck on figuring out which.
