could not fork new process for connection: Cannot allocate memory - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi,

We are running v814 with 8 GB of RAM and 3.5 GB allocated to shared memory.
  It's never been a problem for us before.  We ran into a situation
yesterday where we received the message above.  At that time our total
available memory took a dive to 4GB and cached memory stayed around 4 GB.
Soon after that some process ended and everything returned to normal.  It
alsted around 10 minutes.  Too bad I didn't see the query or process at the
time it was running.
