Hello

Are you thinking about this bug?:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2011-12/msg00068.php

Our problem should not have anything to do with this bug (it was
introduced in 9.1.2)

We could not finish a full import of some of our databases with 9.1.2
because all ram+swap was used in a matter of minuttes. We are using
9.1.1 and we haven't seen the 9.1.2 behavior.
