The 7.4 RPMs' startup script sends the postmaster stderr to /dev/null
:-(. To find out what the server sees as the problem, you need to
either hack the startup script to send stderr someplace more useful,
or adjust the configuration to send the postmaster's log messages to
syslog. I would recommend doing one or the other since it's quite
likely that the server-side view of the problem is different from what
the client sees.

Yes. I would like to get to the bottom of it.

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
