Re: BUG #1809: invalid pointer on pg_ctl reload

I was playing around and had most entries uncommented, even if I did not
change the values.  I am attaching the cleaned up postgresql.conf and my
pg_hba.conf files for you.

What non-comment entries do you have in postgresql.conf?

It's also possible that the problem is being triggered by an unusual
entry in one of the other config files, such as pg_hba.conf.  Please see
if you can narrow down what's causing this.
