Unless you have commandline access to the server, it's not hard to get
into a situation where you can't change the configuration setting
because all connections are hanging, and you can't even log in to do an
ALTER SERVER etc. You can't kill applications to kill the connection,
because they will just continue to hang.

Greetings,
