Of course, this is a complete kluge --- it assumes the postmaster will
create its pidfile in less than two seconds. And for that matter, it's
not very proof against the case of a pre-existing postmaster. But in
any case, it (intentionally) doesn't wait for the postmaster to be ready
to accept connections, so it's not solving Kevin's problem.
