I believe the first two messages relate to being unable to open a TCP/IP postmaster socket, which is not fatal because we can still listen on a Unix socket; and the third one indicates that we failed to open a UDP socket for the stats collector. In any case you've got to fix your name resolution setup. Memo to list: I'm inclined to reshuffle the code in pgstat_init() so that the notice "disabling statistics collector for lack of working socket" is emitted in *all* cases where we fail to start the stats collector, rather than only some cases as now.
