Hmm - that does seem to be the case. I added a line to print "connstr"
along with the "." waiting for server to start....dbname=postgres port=5483 -i connect_timeout=5.
The code looks fine to my uneducated eye though (bin/pg_ctl/pg_ctl.c
test_postmaster_connection starting at line 412. I think the issue must
be at lines 425..443)
