Oh, I misunderstood your complaint then.  That's correct, socket setup
happens only at postmaster start --- you can't change the port number
on-the-fly either ;-).  I believe this is documented accurately in the
Admin Guide; note the comments that say that various parameters can be
set only at server start.
