We've heard of such a thing once before:

It's far from clear what's causing it, especially if you don't have any
user-installed copy of Postgres. (I believe some versions of Apple
Remote Desktop bundle a copy of it, though.) It'd be interesting to
know what is in your /etc/hosts file, as discussed in the prior thread.
