Hi,

Don't know if this has any bearing, but here we start postmaster in the
rc rather than rc.local *and* make sure it is running as user postgres.

I.e.
	su postgres -c $POSTGRESHOME/bin/postmaster & echo 'postmaster'
rather than
> 	$POSTGRESHOME/bin/postmaster & echo 'postmaster'

and all works fine (SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.1B on IPC's and SS2's).
