This is not a bug; it's supposed to do that. If you don't like it,
reconfigure your name service (see /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf).

Ok, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.
But definitively for postgresql version 7.3.3 on RedHat Linux,
for "localhost" it was not contacting the name service.
This difference I noticed.
