To recap for those following along, there are two different cases in
play here.

1)
Major upgrade from 9.1.4 to 9.2.4.
Used pg_upgrade
Tested on VM with 9.2.4 and no problems.
Same machine used for production server 9.1.4 and 9.2.4
When complex queries where run on production server under 9.2.4 memory
usage climbed out of control.

Unanswered questions:

a) Data set sizes between test and production machines, how do they differ?

b) What are the EXPLAIN/ANALYZE results for a query on 9.1.4, 9.2.4 test
and 9.2.4 production?

2)
Minor upgrade 9.2.3 to 9.2.4
No test server, went production to production.
Same machine.
When some combination of queries where run on 9.2.4 memory usage climbed
out of control.
