I tried nice'ing pg_dump without any success in making it bloat memory.
I'm suspicious that there's something Windows-specific in what you're
seeing, because it's fairly hard to credit that nobody's seen this
problem in the ten years or so that libpq has been doing it like that.

Can anyone else manage to reproduce a similar behavior?
