Yeah, I should have said "2GB plus palloc slop". It doesn't surprise
me a bit that we seem to be eating another 20% on top of the nominal
limit.

I think the right fix here is to remove the cap, which will require
changing get_hash_mem to return double, and then maybe some cascading
changes --- I've not looked at its callers.
