Why do you think it's a memory leak. You asked for the full dataset;
you need to have the memory to allocate for it. At least, that's what
I'd expect.

If you need to verify a backup, why isn't pg_dump acceptable? Or is
it that you are somehow trying to prove that what you have on the
target (backup) machine is in fact production-ready? I guess I don't
really understand what you are trying to do.
