Package: postgresql-server-8.3
Severity: important

my harness system depends on ability to create few instances of
postgresql server under same user name, different PGDATA and PGPORT.
It is possible with 'vanilla' postgres, but debian's postgresql seems
to be patched in some strange way.

To try , please login as some user (other than root or postgresql):
export PGPORT=30001
export PGDATA=/var/tmp/bla/
initdb
echo "listen_addresses='*'" >> $PGDATA/postgresql.conf
pg_ctl -w start

the last command will fail, even tho it will work perfectly well on
'vanilla' postgresql.
