Well, that's pretty odd --- I'd have expected to see something involving
127.0.0.1 (ie, 7F000001 in one byte order or another).  Does your
/etc/hosts file map "localhost" to something other than 127.0.0.1?

Also, do regular connections to this postmaster work across TCP/IP?
If getaddrinfo() is broken I'd expect there to be problems binding
to the postmaster's listen socket too ...
