I'd try sniffing the IP traffic to and from it with a packet sniffer
and/or tracing the daemon's system calls with strace. Manually invoking
the daemon isn't going to prove a lot, you want to watch its reaction
to Postgres.
I believe some flavors of identd have debug tracing options, too
... check the man page ...
