Problem with memory in C function

Hi folks,

Sorry to send this email twice, but I'm having troubles with my email
server.
I'm having troubles writing a function that reads a file from fisk and
return a bytea to database.
Can anyone help me?

I read the entire file into a (char *) and then return it as a bytea:

fseek(file, 0L, SEEK_END);
tamanhoArquivo = ftell(file);
rewind(file);

fileContent = palloc(fileSize + 1);
if(fileContent == NULL )
{
elog(ERROR, "Error alocating memory (%i bytes)", fileSize + 1);
}

fread(fileContent, fileSize, 1, file);
fclose(file);
PG_RETURN_BYTEA_P((bytea *) fileContent);

And, when I call the funcion in psql, it gives me the following message:
ERROR: Memory exhausted in AllocSetAlloc(879718306)

Am I doing something wrong?

TIA,
