Log message:
Handle reading of startup packet and authentication exchange after forking
a new postmaster child process. This should eliminate problems with
authentication blocking (e.g., ident, SSL init) and also reduce problems
with the accept queue filling up under heavy load.
The option to send elog output to a different file per backend (postgres -o)
has been disabled for now because the initialization would have to happen
in a different order and it's not clear we want to keep this anyway.

One question about this --- why did you put the call to
ClientAuthentication() into postgres.c? Seems like it should be in the
postmaster, probably in DoBackend right after the call to
ProcessStartupPacket.

You're probably right. I put it there when I rewrote the authentication
procedure, before I rewrote the startup handling.
