Well, there's always the possibility of a bug leading to postmaster
coredump.  Historically those have been pretty rare though.

In any case, I'm not sure that the init script is the place to be
solving these problems.  We do need some internal mechanism to protect
against a crashed or kill -9'd postmaster.
