More than likely either a port scanner or some program that checks postgresql for life is simply hitting the port and then dropping the connection when it sees the answer. For instance, if I telnet to my pgsql server / port, I see this for a disconnect: LOG: incomplete startup packet and this for typing in gobbledly gook: LOG: invalid length of startup packet
