Works fine for me in 7.4.7 ... I get log entries like this:
LOG: invalid IP address "1727.0.0.1" in pg_hba.conf file: Unknown server error
LOG: invalid entry in pg_hba.conf file at line 56, token "1727.0.0.1"
FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file
HINT: See server log for details.
and after I fix the pg_hba.conf file it lets me in again. I see no crash.
