More than likely either a port scanner or some program that checks
postgresql for life is simply hitting the port and then dropping the
connection when it sees the answer. For instance, if I telnet to my
pgsql server / port, I see this for a disconnect:
LOG: incomplete startup packet
and this for typing in gobbledly gook:
LOG: invalid length of startup packet
