Hm. Could it be an IPv6 issue --- that is, the stats collector is alive
and faithfully listening on some UDP port, but it's not the same port
the backends try to send to? Given the discussion over the past couple
of days about bizarre interpretations of loopback addresses in
pg_hba.conf, I could sure believe there's some similar kind of issue for
the stats collector.
