I don't believe any part of Postgres itself issues such an error code.
Perhaps the message is coming out of your shell, which would suggest
some portability problem in the pg_ctl shell script. Try running
pg_ctl by hand and/or inserting debugging echo commands to see if you
can narrow down where the problem is.
What platform are you on, anyway?
