Hello Martin,

$ sudo ls -l /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
-rw-r----- 1 root ssl-cert 887 2009-01-07 23:08 
/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

I haven't knowingly changed postgresql.conf but I've attached the one from 
/etc/postgresql/8.3/main

I hope this makes more sense to you than it does to me.

Regards,
Ian

What does

  sudo ls -l /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

say? And did you modify the SSL certificate in postgresql.conf?
