Thanks for replying. I changed the pg_hba.conf to trust (I don't care about the password, this is just a test system,
installedfrom scratch). However, unfortunately WinPCap cannot capture loopback traffic, so that doesn't help us much :) 

Other side notes: tried LSPFix - it found no problems. And I use this box to test MS SQL, MySQL regularly with no
issues.

It might be useful if you could:

- in pg_hba.conf, set 127.0.0.1 to "trust" or change the password
  of the user you'll be testing with to something generic; then

- use Wireshark (http://wireshark.org/) to capture traffic on the
  loopback interface during a failed login attempt that results in
  the "incomplete startup packet" error.

- Change pg_hba.conf back / reset the password you changed

- Post the packet trace (libpcap format) or, if it's too big, put
  it up somewhere people can download it and post a link to it.

Doing so may or may not help - but if the results look normal you at least know the client is sending the right startup
packetand it's a server side problem. 


"An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket" makes you wonder if the socket was closed, the backend
isgetting FDs (handles) mixed up, or something. I was about to suggest trying to get a log with Process Monitor (from
Sysinternals)but it doesn't look like Process Monitor records TCP/IP socket activity, so it won't be much use. Sigh. 

Maybe the wireshark trace will be informative...
