Hi Tom,
I don't understand what you meant by "This is a kernel-level issue and you need to be 
inquiring ..." . If you please tell me what
and how I should enquire and what may be the possible reason for this bind call 
failure then I can contact our Sysadmin to help me
out.

Thanx and regards
Sidd

No, it shouldn't, because that is associated with the creation of the Unix socket 
file, which happens after creation of the TCP
socket.

Given that you're seeing a kernel error on attempt to create the TCP socket, I'm 
convinced that you're wasting your time thinking
about Postgres-internal conditions.  This is a kernel-level issue and you need to be 
inquiring into what state the kernel is in that
is making it reject the bind().
