Aha! Thanks Tom! This will be my first time using valgrind, so I was unaware of
trace-children, and getting it to attach to forked stuff was exactly where I

This is great, much appreciated!

You have to valgrind the whole cluster AFAIK. Basically, start
the postmaster under valgrind with --trace-ch
