In 7.3 and less ssl connections fail if a host line matches before the hostssl
line. At least I think that's the situation, there is definitely something
there that will make a ssl connection get rejected even if there is an
appropiate entry in pg_hba.conf

This works more sensibly in 7.4 I believe.
