i think the issue you are referring to comes from a Solaris report.
some patch levels of solaris have seriously broken getaddrinfo(). in 
this case pg_hba.conf cannot be read anymore.
we got a similar report some time ago. we did a simple configure tweak 
to make sure that the onboard function is used. it seems to happen only 
on some strange patchlevel (god knows which ones).
best regards,
