I just strace'd postmaster start on a Fedora box and can see nothing
corresponding. Since this is a "make check" we know that the PG
configuration files it's using are stock ... so it must be something
about the system config that's sending it round the bend. What do you
have in /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf?
