Not an SSL expert, but my recollection is that the order of the certs in
the file is significant, and this order is the wrong one: root cert goes
last.  Moreover, root.crt should basically only contain the trusted root
cert.  The chains of intermediate certs (plus a copy of the root cert)
belong in server.crt and the client-side postgresql.cert.  Not terribly
good design, probably, but you'd have to take that up with the openssl
folk not us.

FWIW, I *have* tested chained certs, and they do work for me per the
documentation; or at least did the last time I tried it about two years
ago.
