The test_shm_mq regression tests hung on this machine this morning.
Hamid was able to give me access to log in and troubleshoot.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to completely track down the problem
before accidentally killing off the running cluster, but it looks like
test_shm_mq_pipelined() tried to start 3 background workers and the
postmaster only ever launched one of them, so the test just sat there
and waited for the other two workers to start. At this point, I have
no idea what could cause the postmaster to be asleep at the switch
like this, but it seems clear that's what happened.
