Looking at postmaster.c, my head started to spin a little. I think I 
understood that exec case or not, by the time we get to BackendRun we 
have already done all the fork/exec action. Have I read this correctly?

(This code is getting rather intricate. A Readme file might be nice. 
Just a thought)

cheers

It needs rewritten.  The hacks inserted for ExecBackend have largely
destroyed the former structure (such as it was), and the lack of any
commentary added with said hacks didn't help.  I am thinking of tackling
that rewrite once the dust has settled.
