Bug reference: 3969

PostgreSQL version: 8.2.6, 8.3.0
Operating system: CentOS 5, Windows XP
Description: pg_ctl cannot detect server startup
Details:
pg_ctl -w -o "-p 5432 -c max_connections=100" start
waits for server startup forever and timeout,
but server has successfully started actually.
The following work as expected.
* pg_ctl -w -o "-p 5432" start
* pg_ctl -w -o "-c max_connections=100" start
* pg_ctl -w -o "-c max_connections=100 -p 5432" start
Are there any limitation in ordering of -o arguments?
