Name Lookup Weirdness

Hi there,

I have made a very weird observation with JDBC. After a major machine upgrade
postgres 7.3.4 no longer accepts JDBC connection requests *of a certain
kind*:

jdbc:postgresql://my.host.name/dbname    works
jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1/dbname       works
jdbc:postgresql://localhost/dbname       does not work?!
jdbc:postgresql:dbname                   does not work

psql dbname                         works
psql -h localhost dbname            works

It seems to be independant of the JVM (tried 1.4.2 and 1.5.0) the postgres
binary (and config) itself did not change over the upgrade. Everything else
on that machine as been pretty much turned upside down. (Linux 2.2 -> Linux
2.6, et al ;-) I tried postgresql.jar of 7.3.2 and 7.3.4.

I know how to circumvent the problem (and I'll go 8.0 on that machine quite
soon as well), but I would like to know if anyone else has seen such a
thing...

Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards
