FYI,
The machine we tried to run postgres on had the 'localhost' entry in its hosts file spelled incorrectly (i.e., 'localhosts'). After updating the hosts file, postgres ran fine.
I would have thought we would have recieved an error other than 'getprotobyname failed'. I would have expected an error more like the error messages you recieve when trying to connect to postgres from a remote client without adding the client's IP in the pg_hba.conf file. In any case, the problem has been solved, now I can go play golf....
