Three points after a quick test: - please compile with --enable-cassert, there are wrong assertions in your code (you might just have to move some lines, there is an Assert() and an assignment thereafter) - changing a PGC_POSTMASTER should show a message: => parameter \"%s\" cannot be changed after server start; configuration file change ignored This seems to not show up anymore with your patch. - with the same reasoning, I think it's a good idea to display a message about which option falls back to its default value.
