The probable reason why your method worked for you, but not for me,
came to me while I was making my dinner : you are using a 3.10
kernel, my machine where I tested is using 3.11.0. I've just tested
on my i686 which is running 3.10.10 and your method works there (I
still don't like adding the user if the machine is only going to be
a postgres client, but I could live with that and probably take
remedial action in my own builds).
Whether 3.11.{1...x} will show the same behaviour as 3.10.10, or
indeed whether 3.10.largenumber will show the behaviour of 3.11, I
have no idea. This isn't something I've got the neck to ask about
on the kernel lists (first, git bisect to find which patch to blame,
then explain (and I think I can guess who to) that "yes, we are
changing upstream's 'put the socket in /tmp' but we don't want to
apply patches to fix the testsuite to support that."

Not quite : need to add -k not -h for 'gres'. I'll take a look in
a little while.
