On searching the archives I noticed Bob Smith in Jul, 2002 had a similar
problem to mine, but never posted a solution.

I'm using pgsql 7.4.2 on Mac OS 10.3.4. I installed the startup script for
darwin from the contrib/start-scripts folder. On boot, pgsql startup fails
and I see this error in the pgsql logfile:

bootstrap_look_up() failed (ipc/send) invalid destination port

After the machine has booted the same startup script works fine.

This appears to be a Mac OS issue. If anyone has any clue what's going on
please let me know.

I've gotten around the problem right now by putting a call to the startup
script directly in /etc/rc, as the last command.
