You didn't say what platform this is, but it might be related to this
7.4.3 fix:

2004-04-24 16:10  tgl

    * src/backend/libpq/ip.c (REL7_4_STABLE): Ensure getaddrinfo_all
    returns null result on failure.

In any case, you should be on 7.4.7 on general principles.  We don't put
out dot-releases just for amusement.
