What version were you using beforehand?  Are you *sure* nothing else in
your environment has changed?

... because it is really, really hard to see how that particular
failure could arise from anything except a broken DNS configuration.

Try "nslookup mbp" at the shell command prompt.  If that fails with
a similar error message, Postgres is not at fault.
