Massimo pointed out some problems in my fix. The new code is:
if (++proc_exit_inprogress == 9) elog(ERROR, "infinite recursion in proc_exit"); if (proc_exit_inprogress
>=9) goto exit; /* ---------------- * if proc_exit_inprocess > 1, then it means that we * are being
invokedfrom within an on_exit() handler * and so we return immediately to avoid recursion. * ----------------
*/ if (proc_exit_inprogress > 1) return;
