Well, he is talking about a newly created database that resides in the build

directory tree, so this is not of concern, since it is nowhere that any
other backend 
can connect to.

My concern would rather be, that you would not be testing the locking, exev
....
Is it possible to start one backend in the same way postmaster would start
it ?
