Ta-Da!

That was it. For some reason, I had an old pgsql/data tree laying
around that I was futzing with. Looking for postmaster.pid did the
trick.

What I can't figure out is how I was breaking "local" access by editing
the non-local file. Maybe I was just too tired after 18 hours of
debugging Mozilla stuff. <G>

Thanks for the help.
