This is not a postgres bug.  If you need help with developing an extension you
should send a message to -hackers.

That being said, in case of unclean shutdown (which happens if a process
segfaults), the postmaster will restart and any shared memory will be lost, so
I'm assuming that you somehow serialize a handle which isn't valid anymore
after a restart, unclean or not.
