Obviously not a gread product, I'd say, if it breaks the winsock stack.
Which the hole purpose of a firewall is to protect, really...

Yes, that's very interesting indeed. I don't think we made any major
changes with that one. This is on the same machine? Perhaps some other
piece of software was also installed, that triggered the problem?

That's not relaly the firewall. Nonetheless, it's very interesting. Did
you really need it for all those programs? I don't recall having ever
had to set that, but it could be that it's not supported by the CPU on
any of my test machines :-) But it specifically surprises me that it was
necessary for psql and pgadmin.
