Before reporting a bug it is a good idea to check whether a fix for
it is available. Version 9.4.5 includes this:
| * Ensure that the postmaster does not exit until all its child
| processes are gone, even in an immediate shutdown (Tom Lane)
|
| Like the previous item, this avoids possible race conditions
| against a subsequently-started postmaster.
Do you still see the problem when running with fixes for the known
bugs?
