Which is it? Is the vacuum process is using 1.2GB (5% of memory) or is
it using 90% (~22GB)?
BTW, with 1GB shared buffers and 64MB maintenance_work_mem top reporting
a size of 1.2GB doesn't surprise me at all (assuming it's including
shared memory in there).
This is starting to sound like a regular OOM problem. Have you tried the
steps in

?
