In answering the question about SIGHUP and pg_hba.conf, I was surprised
to learn from Tom and postgresql.conf is reloaded by backends on
postmaster SIGHUP, at least for certain configuration settings.

It this new behavior?  I thought postgresql.conf changes only were seen by
newly spawned children.
