PostgreSQL 11.0, 11.1
OS: Windows 7 x64
RAM: 16GB

Database location was created with initdb.
Scheme sc.

Table contains 600 000 000 rows with structure:
table sc.address
(
  id_address integer not null,
  base varchar not null,
  raw bytea not null,
  key bytea,
  id_key integer
)

Server start command:
pg_ctl -D g:\PostgreSQL11\data -l g:\PostgreSQL11\log\log.txt -o "-p 5426" start

Bug:
>psql -d dbname -p 5426
psql (11.1)
dbname =# \set VERBOSITY verbose
dbname =# alter table sc.address add primary key (id_address);
ERROR:  58P01: could not determine size of temporary file "0"
LOCATION:  ltsConcatWorkerTapes,
d:\pginstaller.auto\postgres.windows-x64\src\backend\utils\sort\logtape.c:439
dbname=#

"base/pgsql_tmp/pgsql_tmp6672.0.sharedfileset": Directory not empty

After error the directory
"base/pgsql_tmp/pgsql_tmp6672.0.sharedfileset" is empty.

In the PostgreSQL 10 with the same database (copied via pg_dump and
psql) there is no problems - index/key created successfully.

It looks like this bug is disallow to index any large tables under Windows.
