Thanks, I have pushed it. Brendan: thanks for the patch.

Yeah, they are a bit inconsistent. I am uninclined to mess with it,
though. Right now it seems to me that the only way it could fail is if
you hit an out-of-memory or a similar problem. And if you hit that at
postmaster startup ... well ... I guess you have A Problem.
If somebody wants to submit a patch to fix that, be my guest.
