Well, the easiest way was to 'tail -f' the LDAP server's log. I can
see that PostgreSQL, indeed, calls getpwuid and tries to find LDAP's
"uid" (the user name):

Mar 8 10:23:24 eve slapd[586]: conn=38854 op=1 SRCH base="ou=People,dc=eureg,dc=eu" scope=1 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uidNumber=1011))"
Mar 8 10:23:24 eve slapd[586]: conn=38854 op=1 SRCH attr=uid userPassword uidNumber gidNumber cn homeDirectory loginShell gecos description objectClass

Strangely enough, everything works now. The only thing I see is that
the machine rebooted two days ago. :-(

Thanks for those who searched and sorry for leading them on the wrong
track.
