Alexander Kirpa (ank@bilteks.com) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Start problem

Long Description
Postgres engine don't start if old PID already used other program.
IMHO, need update start procedures and ignore old PID if process name is not postmaster.

Sample Code
Automatic Start system.
start apache - no connect to internet - no load/request
start postgres
All OK.
Power outage.
Automatic system start after power restored.
start apache - connect to internet - huge load, as result child of apache use PID of postgres used on previous start.
start postgres - :-(((( - not started.

Work around. restart apache. start postgres.
