Are you running an edited version of /etc/init.d/postgresql?
The distributed version (6.3.2-10 onwards) contains these lines:
# Make sure there is no UNIX-socket file lurking around; this socket
# can get left behind if there is a system crash.
if [ -S /tmp/.s.PGSQL.${PGPORT} ]
then
rm /tmp/.s.PGSQL.${PGPORT}
fi
I am surprised that you should have had this problem. If your init file does
contain those lines, there is a bug, though I'm not sure what is causing it.
