Thanks Peter :)
That was, what I first thought, that the daemon must not be stopped, if
I want to do an initdb to another directory. But the guys on irc called
me weird. They said, my thought were wrong.
Today, in the afternoon, I couldn't run two clusters at the same time.
Therefor we figured the problem out and I found the same error message
at /var/log/messages.
Just setting max_connections to a lower value solved the problem.
So, it's no bug, just a kind of making me weird. :)
