I've also noticed that on our production 7.3.4 server logging to syslog,
that if I change the postgresql.conf to enable log_statement, and then
do pg_ctl reload, it works, but then when I disable it again, pg_ctl
reload does not cause postgres to pick up the changes.

I haven't done too much investigation here in to the exact problem, but
there is something odd going on...
