Postmaster process on port 10000

Hi!

We have a problem with our postmaster process, which normaly runs on port
5432. From time to time it spawns another process which listens on port
10000 - which also happens to be the port for our own server. I don't find
any configuration option which could cause this behaviour.

Does anyone have a clue about the causes of this behaviour?

There isn't anything in the PG code that would do that. Have you got
any modified code in there? It might be educational to attach to the
port-10000-using process with a debugger and get a stack trace from it.
