OOPS! My mistake. No wonder I was confused. I was basing my incorrect
assumptions on this:

devin(at)kanemochi /tools/pgsql/bin% ls -l post*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 devin wheel 1469829 Jan 4 03:21 postgres
lrwxrwxr-x 1 devin wheel 8 Jan 4 03:21 postmaster -> postgres

I was not aware the binary would behave differently depending on the name
it was invoked as.

Thanks for straightening me out.
