When postmaster fails to run due to e.g. datadir being set to 755, 
'pg_ctl start' incorrectly reports "postmaster successfully started". 
I'm not sure how to fix this though. Do a [shorter] wait for 'start' 
mode by default? Install a child handler (can you even do that with 
shell script?)

This is postgresql 7.4.3 on Linux.
