I tried to do an strace on the postmaster (and child processes) to see
if that might show something, but when the postmaster starts the
database isn't accepting any connections.  I have the feeling it's not
really starting up.  Trying to shut it down seems to agrees with that.
My wild guess is that the database is sitting waiting for something when
a stored function is called but I'm not sure how to verify that.
