try killing mDNSResponder before restarting postgres:

sudo killall mDNSResponder

hopefully apple fixes this dns-problems in 10.6.1.

Wow, everything has really gone to h*ll...

I must be cursed. Yesterday I booted the SL Distribution disk and used the Disk Utility
to check the integrity of the disk... Disk Utility could not find any problems.

Today after I found that pg would not start due to a checksum error in the Control File
I *tried* to reboot the system but I get a kernel trap at boot so no joy in Mudville...

I am running a clone of the system I made friday via SuperDuper. Postgresql is
running in the clone ( all I am missing is about 15 records I inserted Saturday).

I probably will try to restore from the clone...

It might be best to reformat and reinstall SL but I find the prospect of trying to restore and
configure the vast amount of apps mind boggling....

Sigh,

Jerry
