There's no connection timeout built into PG itself. The message implies
that something sent the backend a SIGTERM signal, which makes me wonder
if you are running the postmaster under ulimit settings that include
a finite limit on process CPU or I/O expenditure. Some platforms have
special signals for that (SIGXCPU etc) but I think some just send
SIGTERM when a process goes over the limit.
