Ya, but, from what i can tell, there are not as many backends being
started as that scrolling list of 'FindExec's appear to be indicating

cat ~pgsql/pgstart ... postmaster's own debug output? ya know, for some
stupid reason, the only thing i'm capturing is postgres's output :( I
just modified the pgstart script and restarted the server, so postmaster's
output is to logs/postmaster.5432 ...
