Boy, it sure looks like everything's just sitting idle waiting for
client input, and hasn't noticed your shutdown request at all. You
sure you used "-m fast"? Could you attach to the postmaster and see
what its Shutdown variable contains, and to the backends and see what
the variables manipulated by die() contain? (InterruptPending,
proc_exit_inprogress, ProcDiePending, ImmediateInterruptOK,
InterruptHoldoffCount, CritSectionCount)
