All,

I'm trying to run two database clusters on a single machine, and am
failing.  I use initdb to create the two clusters... each has their
own directory structure.  I can start one server or the other with
pg_ctl, but once the first starts, the second just hangs on "waiting
for server to start...".

The two servers are using different ports.  I'm running v 8.3 on a
Mac  running 10.5.

What's the secret step I'm missing here?

Thanks,
Eric
