Hrm. Does a socket in the TIME_WAIT state count against the number of
open file descriptors? Certainly, it shouldn't count against the
per-process limit, as the process has already closed it.

Yeah, actually that's the default, if you just run "psql" with no
parameters. It looks for a socket in /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.
