Works fine for me in 7.4.7 ... I get log entries like this:

LOG:  invalid IP address "1727.0.0.1" in pg_hba.conf file: Unknown server error
LOG:  invalid entry in pg_hba.conf file at line 56, token "1727.0.0.1"
FATAL:  missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file
HINT:  See server log for details.

and after I fix the pg_hba.conf file it lets me in again.  I see no crash.

                        regards, tom lane
