Hm, let me assure you that this security update did not change
anything in the way pg_hba.conf is parsed and evaluated, so this seems
to have been a hidden 'bomb' just waiting for a server restart.

I can't tell unless you send it to me. :) However, the error message
'pg_hba.conf contains a field after the authentication specification'
already gives a good hint what to look out for.

Greetings,

Martin
