Thanks for the tip with 8.4.3, its already available at the ftp mirrors :-)

Now with 8.4.3 the scripts work, but only until it has eaten up my
memory (4 gig).
The function above is executed for ~40000 items, with iteration steps of
300 items, every step memery consumption is increasing till the machine
hangs and process dies.
I am now looking into closing the database connection after every
iteration, hoping this helps.

I am bit concerned cause in postgres 8.3.1 it is/was working fine.

Kind regards,
