I did an "strace -o strace.txt /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start" *, but
the only "socket" that was in it was in the error message. I modified
/usr/share/postgresql-common/init.d-functions to add strace to the
pg_ctlcluster call **, and there are lots of references to "socket", but
it doesn't look like it's having much success.
