Since it doesn't look like anyone has jumped in with ideas I'll take
some shots in the dark. I haven't seen this issue come up before and
CentOS lags RHEL and is supposed to be basically binary-identical so I
suspect it is related something about your particular install.

Is it possible that you (perhaps as a dependency) have some parts of
PostgreSQL installed by CentOS and are experiencing conflicts.

I would both verify that you really have disabled SELinux and also try
removing all traces of all installed copy/copies of PG and installing
the (now version 8.4) PostgreSQL installation from the CentOS 5.5
distribution and see if that works then go from there.

Cheers,
Steve
