Yup. It was me who said that restarting the postmaster solved the
problem. That's what Dave Cramer told me. But maybe Dave was not
certain about that -- he did use the word "reboot" and I asked for
confirmation about whether this was an actual reboot of the machine
or just a postmaster "reboot", and he said it was the latter. But this
may have been a suposition.

Sorry for the confusion.
