We should look at what the underlying problem is before we prohibit
anything at a high level.
When I try it, I get a
TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(event->fd != (-1))", File: "latch.c", Line: 861)
which might indicate that there is a more general problem with latch use
in single-user mode.
If I remove that assertion, things work fine after that. The originally
reported error "epoll_ctl() failed: Bad file descriptor" might indicate
that there is platform-dependent behavior.
I think the general problem is that the latch code that checks for
postmaster death does not handle single-user mode well.
