Thank you all! :) I changed the setting back to 0 and we're not getting the error anymore. I have another error from
pg11I'll submit a new bug for.

Apparently it has never worked on Windows and you're the first to notice and report that, so we can't expect anyone to
haveplatform-specific experience with that. But on other OSes we've seen it improve performance of large parallel
joinsand parallel vacuum, especially when 'huge pages' are configured. (Note that we had reports that our huge page
supportfor windows stopped working on recent Windows versions, addressed in PostgreSQL 16 by commit fdd8937c, so YMMV
onPostgreSQL 14.)
Thanks for the report, and to Alexander for testing. I've pushed the fix now, so it will ship in the next point
releasein a few weeks. In the meantime, the workaround is to set it to 0.
