This is not a bug. Did you check your server logs (pgstartup.log must be the
pg_ctl output)? I got:

LOG:  invalid authentication method "127.0.0.1/32"
CONTEXT:  line 80 of configuration file "/home/euler/pg90/data/pg_hba.conf"
FATAL:  could not load pg_hba.conf

If you don't have logging_collector enabled, you should get the above message
in your terminal.

Problem is: instead of local you should use host.
