Thanks for that hint.  After changing the port numbers for each
instance to a different one, it works - but only at first glance.
After making some test creates and inserts to all servers at the same
time I receive the 'out of memory' messages again...
Different UIDs, different ports, same error.

Of course I understand that.  But I would like to setup a test server
in a different jail beside my production jail/pgsql-server to be sure
not to crash my production server.
Performance does not matter (at this time in this specific case of
course!).

Is this a good recommendation for a machine with only 1GB of RAM?
