That's bizarre. What error conditions does your man page for bind(2)
document as yielding EACCES? The only one mentioned on my systems is
"protected address", but we aren't requesting a reserved port number ...

I just had this problem last night.... my local firewall was blocking connections on the loopback interface.

That's what the Linux man page says, too. Could getaddrinfo somehow be
returning bogus data that includes a reserved port number?
Would you try strace'ing postmaster start to see what gets passed to the
socket() and bind() calls just before this message comes out?

Well, that's pretty odd --- I'd have expected to see something involving
127.0.0.1 (ie, 7F000001 in one byte order or another). Does your
/etc/hosts file map "localhost" to something other than 127.0.0.1?
Also, do regular connections to this postmaster work across TCP/IP?
If getaddrinfo() is broken I'd expect there to be problems binding
to the postmaster's listen socket too ...

Nope, it maps right.
Note that the 0x00000001100E3BF0 value is not an IP address; it is a
pointer to a (struct sockaddr *).

Hmm, that may shoot holes in this theory, but --- I'm wondering if you've got a mismatch in struct addrinfo declarations. I found a page http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/topic/com.ibm.aix.commtechref/doc/commtrf2/getaddrinfo.htm that says AIX puts ai_canonname before ai_addr in struct addrinfo, which is opposite of what we assume in src/include/getaddrinfo.h. So I guess the next thing to look at is your pg_config.h to see if HAVE_GETADDRINFO and HAVE_STRUCT_ADDRINFO are defined? regards, tom lane

So you've got sin_port = 1, which explains the permission-denied
message. Next question is why getaddrinfo is setting it that way
rather than to zero. Is it possible that getaddrinfo is failing
to initialize the field at all, and we're just getting bit by
random pre-existing memory contents?

What I'm tempted to do is add this to pg_getaddrinfo_all (in
src/backend/libpq/ip.c):
{
/* not all versions of getaddrinfo() zero *result on failure */
*result = NULL;
+ #ifdef _AIX
+ /* it seems AIX's getaddrinfo doesn't reliably zero sin_port */
+ if (servname == NULL)
+ servname = "0";
+ #endif
+
#ifdef HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS
if (hintp->ai_family == AF_UNIX)
return getaddrinfo_unix(servname, hintp, result);
Want to try that?

That seems to work fine, too. And that seems somewhat more
portable/elegant/something.
