I think this indicates that pg_ctl is trying to connect to the
database just to see if it's running, but you have set it to require
SSL certificate on connections from localhost. Could that be so? If
so, try setting the requirement for certificates only on non-localhost
addresses and see if it starts up properly in that case.
