I believe this is a disease for all platforms, not only Windows. This is
because the signals are asynchoronized. Think when you returned from
kill(SIGHUP), you can't suppose that Postmaster already got it. Now when you
do your next command very fast, then there is a chance you didn't receive
the forwarded SIGHUP from Postmaster. But windows does make the disease
easier to be seen.
