I think other people have claimed that this message is in libpq and not in
JDBC source code which is inconsistent with this description.

This contradicts your previous email about restarting the postmaster working.

I think you have to sit down and write down *exactly* what sequence of actions
cause what results. Describing them in shorthand like "if connection attempts
are made" is leading to a lot of speculation instead of systematic deductions.
