Re: BUG #1466: #maintenace_work_mem = 16384

w/egg on face, DOH

I did try to make sure I didn't submit a bogus report, but didn't try
hard enough.

I checked all logs I could think of (event and pg_logs) and found no
information.  I suppose if I tried starting postmaster by hand I would
have spotted the issue.

This didn't help me diagnose the issue:
runas /user:postgres "p:\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin\pg_ctl.exe start -D
p:\PostgreSQL\8.0\data"

Ok, now I ask for the world...  Can we force postgres to log startup
failure?  I figured that was what was going on, but I didn't think to
login as postgres and start it by hand to see the output.
