Ah, that rings a bell. After a bit of searching I found
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/16897-2632c6541c9f8491%40postgresql.org
which seems to describe exactly the same symptom. We never got a
final answer from that person, but I continue to think that Postgres
must have been trying to use GSSAPI authentication, suggesting that
the server is being started in an environment where a GSSAPI server
appears to be available.
