Just a word of caution that there may be no cause/effect relationship
between the log messages and the non-working-ness.
PG will print this message in the log if any TCP client simply connects
to it, then closes the connection.
For example if you have some kind of service liveness checker (nagios,
etc) that checks that something is accepting connections, you'll see
these messages.
Note that they have time stamps exactly one minute apart.
