i used ulimit -s 8192 from the start ... and that's my mistake. So
you're right, i've misread the documentation, especially that part :

may be this point should be emphazised in the documentation. Is 1MB of
margin really enough ? the doc should be clearer.

In order to run my application, i had to raise postgres stack size up to
20MB. I feel like hammering the stack that hard is quite hazardous.
But after all, everything works fine :) Thank you for you help.
