Hm.  I notice that pg_ctl does not use "nohup" to start the postmaster,
which seems like a really bad idea now that I think about it.  Do things
get better if you make the relevant section of pg_ctl look like

    if [ -n "$logfile" ]; then
        nohup "$po_path" ${1+"$@"} </dev/null >>$logfile 2>&1 &
    else
        # when starting without log file, redirect stderr to stdout, so
        # pg_ctl can be invoked with >$logfile and still have pg_ctl's
        # stderr on the terminal.
        nohup "$po_path" ${1+"$@"} </dev/null 2>&1 &
    fi

?
