Hi,

I installed 7.4beta5, created a data-dir and tried to start postgresql with
pg_ctl without initdb. As expected, this will fail. But pg_ctl tells me
"postmaster successfully started", after a fatal error, which looks very
confusing. When I use -l for specifying a logfile, I don't even see the
error, but only the success-message.

Tommi
