If he's getting an actual "out of memory" error, let's see the memory
context map that gets dumped to the server log (or more specifically,
to stderr).

Although you may have told us enough right here. 2.5GB of shared
buffers in a 4GB address space (with probably only 3GB available to the
application) isn't a very sane choice. Back that off or run 64-bit.
