"Out of memory" errors..

Hi

I am getting the following error while running queries such as "vacuum
analyze TABLE", even on small tables with a piddly 35,000 rows!

The error message:
--
ERROR:  out of memory
DETAIL:  Failed on request of size 67108860.
--

My postgresql.conf is below. I am on a Dual Core server with 4GB or
RAM, which runs MySQL as well (key_buffer for which is at around
800M). So I have allocated shared_buffers for postgresql based on that
number. The server also runs Apache and other stuff, but I have never
had any problem running the vacuum equivalent called "REPAIR TABLE" on
MySQL.

Thanks in advance for any inputs!
