I am trying to determine the upper size limit of a core file generated for
any given cluster. Is it feasible that it could actually be the entire
size of the system memory + shared buffers (i.e. really huge)?

I've done a little bit of testing of this myself, but want to be sure I am
clear on this for planning to have enough free space for postgres core
files in case of potential crashes.

Thanks!
Jeremy
