PostgreSQL server listen on other port than 5432

Hi.

I'm using CentOS 5.3 and PostgreSQL version 8.1.11.

I opened the posgres SQL to accept incoming connections:

<snip start from postgresql.conf>
listen_addresses = '*'
                                       # comma-separated list of addresses;
                                       # defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all
port = 5432
max_connections = 100
<snip end>

It seems that the posgres SQL sometimes listen on other ports than 5432:
# lsof -i -n -P  | grep postg

The extra port which is being used (17583) is a port that i need to
other services.
Did anyone see this issue?

Thanks
