BUG #4081: Running Postgres as Windows service vs regular applications

The following bug has been logged online:

Operating system: Windows XP SP2
Description: Running Postgres as Windows service vs regular
applications
Details:

I faced with problem connecting to Postgres running as Windows service.
After installing I tried to connect using pgAdmin, but Ive got errors
regarding troubles in connecting and found next errors in logfile:
>connection received: host=127.0.0.1 port=13683
>could not receive data from client: An operation was attempted on something
that is not a socket.
>incomplete startup packet
I found through Google a lot of messages, several people had same problem.
But I didnt find solution. The only advice was to launch Postgres as
simple application (pg_ctl.exe start instead runservice). It was worked for
me too. But I decided to get understood problem.
I tried to get more details and raised all logging parameters in
configuration file to debug5 (client_min_messages,
log_min_messages, log_min_error_statement), but after this
errors disappeared. I turned back all parameters and got same errors. After
several experiments I got right target. If I put
log_min_messages to debug2 or higher (2-5) everything is ok. But is
enough to set this parameter to debug1 or lower and Ive got same problem.

Very strange thing to be coincidence.

Logfile with log_min_messages = debug1
