Never mind my initial query, it was just used for demonstration purposes.
Herouth was right in stating: "memory used for substr function" has to be
the real cause of the problem because any substr select exhibits this
behaviour:


select substr(tets,1,2) from raw_field; 

This one starts the postmaster at around 3MB and finishes at 40.
Unfortunately, I have no idea about C, can someone identify the problem
and come up with a patch?
