Public bug reported:

Appeared on up to date ubuntu oneiric 32bit.

postgres 9.1 was running on port 5433, as there was an old postgres 8.4 
listening on port 5432. After I purged postgres 8.4 via aptitude, I changed in 
/etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf the line

port = 5433                             # (change requires restart)

to

port = 5432                             # (change requires restart)

As the line itself states, I tried

/etc/init.d/postgresql restart

but that wouldn't make postgres listen on the new port 5432, it kept on
listening on port 5433.

I had to stop and start postgres via
/etc/init.d/postgresql stop
/etc/init.d/postgresql start

to apply the new port setting.

In my opinion, either the hint in postgresql.conf should be altered to
"#(change requires stop & start)" or the init.d script should reload the
settings upon restart correctly.

Thanks for Your work!
