v7.3.4 Bug Fix Release
In order to address a potentially serious (although rare) server startup
failure that was recently reported, we have just bundled up and put onto
the ftp sites v7.3.4 of PostgreSQL ...
It is a recommended upgrade, and does not require a dump/restore of your
existing databases to put into place.

BTW, it should be mentioned that the startup failure was introduced in
7.3.3. If you are running 7.3.3, I recommend that you consider this an
urgent upgrade. If you are running an older version then it is not urgent.

Is this an example of the startup failure?

In any case it started right up after I installed 7.3.4
