Bug #690: pg_ctl doesn't act properly for option -w

shangwu (swqi(at)strongholdtech(dot)com) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
pg_ctl doesn't act properly for option -w

Long Description
If you start postmaster at some port number other than 5432 by pg_ctl with option -w, it doesn't block any more.
The problem is that pg_ctl calls "psql -l" to check if the postmaster is started. Running psql without correct port number gets immediately failed with error exit code.
