Ok, thanks, I will talk to him about the docs. Another problem that you
may know about, want to know about. I have been using 6.5b for a while now
with large objects.

Beta1 you mean? There have been several LO bugs fixed since then, I
believe. Please try it with a current snapshot.

I get a few :
NOTICE: LockReplace: xid table corrupted
errors and then a
NOTICE: ShmemAlloc: out of memory
error. Thoughts?

I think this is memory corruption (something tromping on the shared
memory allocation information), not a leak.
