What is your work_mem setting?
At first glance it looks as if you have dangerously little free memory
and a high work_mem setting (and possibly many connections doing expensive
operation concurrently). Are you aware that work_mem limits memory use
per operation, so you need to have more than work_mem * max_connections
memory free to be on the safe side?
