I see you just changed them today:
       pqsignal(SIGTERM, die);         /* cancel current query and exit */
!       pqsignal(SIGQUIT, quickdie); /* hard crash time */
!       pqsignal(SIGALRM, HandleDeadLock); /* check for deadlock after timeout *

How about:
The database is shutting down.

and not mention server.  The current 'system' has to be changed to
'database server' anyway.
