This is the Pg backend line from top after about 90 minutes runtime :

 PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
16083 postgres  17   0  9172 9172 8524 R 94.7  2.4  84:59.68 postmaster

No sign of the shared growth stopping at this stage...

Pg built with --disable-debug --without-zlib

Platform is Linux 2.4.21+ xfs (Mandrake 9.2beta)
