The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      9003
Logged by:          Paul Morie
Email address:      pmorie@redhat.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4
Operating system:   RHEL
Description:

Currently there is a hard-coding in postgresql postmaster to bind to
'localhost'.  This results in postmaster and autovacuum being broken if the
user cannot bind to 127.0.0.1.

Can this be configurable?
