Just to see if work_mem is related to these memory problems,  please 
lower it from 96MB to 16MB and do a reload:
pg_ctl -D <your pg data directory> reload

If you still see memory problems, the problem is elsewhere.  Please 
report back.  Thanks.

Don't forget to reset it back to 96MB if it's not the cause of the problem.

Regards,
Michael Vitale
