Have you tried starting the postmaster in debug mode?   From man postmaster:
      -d [debug_level]           The  optional  argument  debug_level  determines  the           amount of debugging
outputthe backend  servers  will           produce.   If debug_level is one, the postmaster will           trace all
connectiontraffic, and nothing else.   For           levels  two and higher, debugging is turned on in the
backendprocess  and  the  postmaster  displays  more           information,  including  the  backend environment and
      process traffic.  Note that if no file  is  specified           for  backend  servers  to send their debugging
output          then this output will appear on the  controlling  tty           of their parent postmaster.
 

There other debugging comments in this man page so you may wanna look
at it first.
