The machine became unresponsive similar to the early symptoms of the
apparent memory leak cited in this post:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-07/msg00105.php
It was impossible to kill the offending process, since the connections
were unresponsive; we didn't wait for the OOM killer, but rebooted the
machine.
