No, and I'm using only localhost as address, i.e. I am contacting localhost, and I have listen_addresses = localhost in postgresql.conf. My name server does not resolve internal names (I'm using LMHOSTS). All other programs do work with that configuration (i.e. IPv6 uninstalled).
However, I just noticed that when I stop the DNS client (caching) service, then the problem disappears as well. Strange.
