I think it might be due to the pre-existing postgresql process
monopolizing a resource the postgresql process started by glom
does require in order to start - something like a socket or
port number...  As a matter of fact, running "ps fax" (while
glom was thus blocked waiting for postgresql) shows only a
single postgresql set of processes: the pre-existing server
and its children processes...  As if the postgresql process
started by glom was blocked from starting by the system, i.e.:
for lack of a necessary resource...

Indeed, that works!  Thanks a lot, Murray!

Bye for now!
