Did you guys perchance pick up one of the earlier patches that had
MAX_KILOBYTES instead of INT_MAX as the limit? i.e:

{"temp_file_limit", PGC_SUSET, RESOURCES_DISK,
gettext_noop("Limits the total size of all temp files used
by each session."),
gettext_noop("-1 means no limit."),
GUC_UNIT_KB
},
&temp_file_limit,
-1, -1, **MAX_KILOBYTES**, <====
NULL, NULL, NULL
},
