This problem remains in current HEAD. I mean, immediate shutdown
may be unable to kill the startup process because system() which
executes restore_command ignores SIGQUIT while waiting.
When I tried immediate shutdown during recovery, only the startup
process survived. This is undesirable behavior, I think.

The following code should be added into RestoreArchivedFile()?

----
if (WTERMSIG(rc) == SIGQUIT)
exit(2);
