This is a long shot, but ... does the behavior change if you remove the
two lines

    if (signo != SIGALRM)
        act.sa_flags |= SA_RESTART;

near the bottom of src/backend/libpq/pqsignal.c ?  I am wondering if
Linux gets unhappy if we try to do much in a signal handler.  This
looks to be the simplest alteration that might address such a problem.
