Turns out I had an open session in another shell I'd
forgotten about. I tried again with similar results and
as I sent \q on the outstanding session, pm went down instantly:
[postgresql(at)wireworm global]$ pg_ctl stop -D /usr/pgsql/data
waiting for postmaster to shut down.................................................. done
postmaster stopped
Also, kill -15 on active psql sessions let postmaster go down quickly.
