Bug reference:      14859
Logged by:          Mark Jones
Email address:      boatcoder@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.5.9
Operating system:   Ubuntu
Description:        

Edit your pg_hba.conf file, add a space (without a new line) at the end of
the file.

Attempt to start postgres.  It will fail with messages like this.

2017-10-17 13:20:22 UTC [2471-1] LOG:  invalid connection type "ost"
2017-10-17 13:20:22 UTC [2471-2] CONTEXT:  line 103 of configuration file
"/etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_hba.conf"
2017-10-17 13:20:22 UTC [2471-3] FATAL:  could not load pg_hba.conf

Look at config file file, scratch head because space is hard to
detect.....
Finally figure it out.  Wonder how that space got in there....
