Another thing we detected some days ago is that a custom variable in a
module not loaded by postmaster, does not seem to get reported
appropriately when an invalid value is set on postgresql.conf and
reloaded: backends report problems with DEBUG3, only postmaster uses
LOG, but since postmaster isn't loading the module, nothing happens.
(Maybe this is our bug but it doesn't seem like it.)
