   I tried with setting geqo=off and It didn't work. Then I set
geqo_threshold=20, and neither. In both the result was:

server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
