As Adam mentioned, I took a look at his system since the initial report
was about a problem with pg_autovacuum. Anyway, Yes ps shows the two
stats collector related processes running, and no the log files don't
show anything helpful, however I didn't try to change any logging
settings. Initially I saw an error in the logs about an IPv6 address
error but after I recompiled everthing with a simple ./configure
--prefix=/home/user/somethingelse/ I didn't get the IPv6 error in the
logs anymore.
Short answer is I have no idea why this is happening, and I didn't see
any obvious configuration problems that might cause this (make check
passed all tests).
Tom, Adam was able to give me a login to his machine, maybe he would do
the same for you.
Anyway, that is all I was able to see, hence the call for more help on
hackers :-)
