I poked at this some more, and verified that adding "fclose(stdin);"
at the head of PostmasterMain is enough to trigger the reported
failure. However, after changing fd.c to dup stderr not stdin,
we can pass check-world even with that in place. So that confirms
that there is no very good reason for the postmaster to require
stdin to be available.
Hence, I pushed the fix to make fd.c use stderr here. I only
back-patched to v14, because given the lack of other complaints,
I couldn't quite justify touching stable branches for this.
