Hmm, this seems to be another one of those "AIX's getaddrinfo() is
broken" problems :-(. We patched around one problem last month:
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/backend/libpq/ip.c.diff?r1=1.32.2.1&r2=1.32.2.3
I'm afraid that that patch does not fix your problem, but it would be
worth trying it before we dig any deeper.
