That's an interesting point.  I've been cautious about enabling skinny 
extents as well, and haven't enabled them here.  (Nothing major, just a 
couple early reports that I expect have long been worked out by now, but 
I decided giving them a few more kernel releases to mature was probably a 
good idea.)

So it'd be interesting to see if there's a correlation between skinny 
extents and the memory issues as well, as there seems to be between 
qgroups and the memory issues.
