Tom Lane 8d0ddccec6 Avoid "invalid memory alloc request size" while reading pg_stat_activity.
On a 64-bit machine, if you set track_activity_query_size and
max_connections such that their product exceeds 1GB, shared memory
setup will still succeed (given enough RAM), but attempts to read
pg_stat_activity fail with "invalid memory alloc request size".
Work around that by using MemoryContextAllocHuge to allocate the
local copy of the activity strings.  Using the "huge" API costs us
nothing extra in normal cases, and it seems better than throwing
an error and/or explaining to people why they can't do this.

This situation seems insanely profligate today, but who knows what
people will consider normal in ten or twenty years?  So let's fix it
in HEAD but not worry about a back-patch.

Per report from James Tomson.

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
