Can you launch PostgreSQL from the command line instead? You might get
more output that way... also try increasing the logging verbosity;
setting log_min_messages to debug might help. You could also try
bringing up a postmaster in standalone mode, though I'm not sure if it
will attempt a PITR recovery in that case...
