OK. The least painful fix might be to establish a different work_mem
setting just for that one query.

However, if you're intent on putting work into continued support of
--disable-float8-byval, I would *strongly* suggest setting up a buildfarm
member that runs that way, because otherwise we're pretty much guaranteed
to break it again. I continue to wonder if it's not better to just remove
the option and thereby simplify our lives. What's the actual value of
having it anymore?
