Sounds like you need to trace through src/backend/libpq/hba.c and figure
out why it's failing to match the hba.conf entry. Probably some silly
little bit of machine-dependent coding, but I don't see it offhand...
shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down with a debugger attached to the
postmaster process, however.
