8.1.what?

Is this repeatable? Is it always the same line and same bogus request size?
If Postgres was built with debug symbols it would be useful to get a
stack trace to try to figure out more about what's happening. If you
want to try that, attach to the backend with gdb while the COPY is
running, then do
$ gdb /path/to/postgres PID-of-backend
gdb> b errfinish
gdb> cont
... wait for breakpoint to be hit ...
gdb> bt
gdb> q
answer 'y' to ok-to-detach prompt
