Hi,

The comment above the PM_STARTUP startup-process-failure case still says
that there are no other processes running yet, so the postmaster can just
exit.

That no longer matches the current startup flow: PM_STARTUP may already
have auxiliary processes running by that point. The attached patch updates
that comment to describe the current behavior.

Regards,
Ayush
