Hi Albe, thanks very much for helping me here...
Here is the contents of my /var/lib/postgresql/8.2/main/ :
root@Admin:/var/lib/postgresql/8.2/main# ls -l
total 9
drwx------ 7 postgres postgres 168 2008-06-29 11:27 base

'server.key' seems to be writable to all and sundry, although the file
it is linked to (ssl-cert-snakeoil.key) is not:
root@Admin:/etc/ssl/private# ls -l
total 4
-rw------- 1 root ssl-cert 887 2008-06-11 12:18 ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
