Try checking the lock file, we used to have a problem like this occur
from time to time and the only way to get postmaster running again was
to delete this file( .s.PGSQL.5432 ) from /tmp, or do the highly
unsuggested reboot(very bad :-( ).  After that restarting postmaster
should complete successfully
