PostgresNode::start() doesn't work for servers older than version 10, either.  
If I hack that function to sleep until the postmaster.pid file exists, it 
works, but that is really ugly and is just to prove to myself that it is a 
timing issue.  There were a few commits in the version 10 development cycle 
(cf, commit f13ea95f9e473a43ee4e1baeb94daaf83535d37c) which changed how pg_ctl 
works, though I haven't figured out yet exactly what the interaction with 
PostgresNode would be.  I'll keep looking.
