Re: debug_level 0 does not stop debug messages

Hi,
    I'm not using pg_ctl, I'm using postmaster directly.  So, in my case I
tried passing "-d0" to it, but it had no effect.  Command line:

postmaster -i -d0 -D /var/pgsql/data -c syslog=2

Any ideas?  I could patch the code to remove the excessive elog's in the
vacuum command, but I'd rather understand how elog interacts with the
global DebugLvl variable.
