Not too long ago I remember somebody having a similar error, which was
caused by an unwritable /tmp dir. Check this too....

I don't think it's anything kernel related, unless you have completely
disabled networking.

Hello. I don't run a 1.2.x kernel, and can't remember what the solution
would be for you, though I suspect it involves reconfiguring your kernel
or configuring your networking.

It would be best to post this to the appropriate Postgres mailing list;
I've copied this to "ports" and someone reading that should be able to
answer you.

Good luck!
