Bug reference:      2711
Logged by:          Yang Zhang
Email address:      yang.postgresqlbugs@mailnull.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system:   Linux (Fedora Core 5)
Description:        PGUSER affects "pg_ctl -w start" behavior
Details:

When I do the following, PG never actually starts:

PGUSER=postgres pg_ctl -w start

If I make sure PGUSER I unset before pg_ctl, however, then everything
proceeds smoothly.

Even if this is a 'feature' instead of a bug, it should be documented. (No
mention of PGUSER in man pg_ctl.)
