[Geocoding] Large index crashes postgres

[Frans Hals]

I feared that this problem may be unique in its kind.
I can't imagine there's a difference between indexing a dump and fresh import.
Postgis is handpicked for 8.3.9 and when I ask for index all rows
whose osm-id is below 100.000 all is well.
Now I tried the postgresql mailing list as you suggested in the hope
for a solution.
If I get any useful answer, I'll surely post it here.
