Looks good.

Something I'm still wondering is about the archiver/logger combination.
What happens if a postmaster is stopped by the user and the archiver is
still running, and the user starts a new postmaster?  This would launch
a new archiver and logger; and there are now two loggers possibly
writing to the same files, and truncated log lines could occur.
