There is a "postgres" option -o which can redirect the server output to a
file. The postmaster output will still go to stderr. Does anyone recall
how this was supposed to be useful?

Interesting code (from elog):

/* NOTE: debug file is typically pointed at stderr */
write(Debugfile, msg_buf, len);

...

/*
* fflush here is just to improve the odds that we get to see
* the error message, in case things are so hosed that
* proc_exit crashes. [...]
*/
fflush(stdout);
fflush(stderr);

Fat chance. ;-)
