Well you are right, after a lot of investigating I found out that it was
neither shlicc2's fault nor postgres's what had happened is that I was using
6.4.beta2 and have moved things about a bit. As a result the pg_shadow
table existed but the pg_user did NOT.

So when psql was doing a select from pg_user the back end would crash, not
crash really but disconnect.

I redid the initdb and reloaded all my postgress databases and everything is
fine.

BTW the reason I was using a beta is that 6.3.2 and locales did not work
together all to well. Now I am happy
