Ah, light dawns... the postmaster socket code does this correctly,
but pgstat.c doesn't.

Too bad we didn't figure this out yesterday.  We are now in code freeze
for 7.4 release, and I'm hesitant to apply a fix for what is arguably a
broken platform.  Core guys, time for a vote ... do we fix, or hold this
for 7.4.1?
