The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 1480
Logged by: Glen
Email address: glen(at)cert(dot)ucr(dot)edu
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.1
Operating system: Fedora Core 1
Description: A wildcard for the listen address doesn't work
Details:
If I go with this in my postgresql.conf file, then postgresql doesn't listen
on anything but localhost:
listen_addresses = '*'
But if I explicitly list the ips then things work:
listen_addresses = '127.0.0.1,138.23.180.100,10.0.0.100'
Perhaps the problem is the fact that I have more than one network card in
this machine? Anyway, thought I'd give you guys a heads up.

You sure it's broken? It only needs to create one socket for that case,
not one per NIC.
If it indeed doesn't work then there's something wrong with
getaddrinfo() on your machine. FWIW, it seems to work fine for
me on Fedora Core 3.
