Not on FreeBSD (probably most other BSD's as well), the default is to
use a named pipe.

Anyhow what is the best way to make postgres stop stderr logging when
syslog logging is turned on? Right now I use "-l /dev/null" to pg_ctl
when starting the server. This seems to me that the server will still
waste cycles doing the stderr printing.
