It seems like this must indicate that psql sees the connection drop
significantly before the postmaster gets SIGCHLD. Which is weird, but
if you have core dumps enabled, maybe your kernel is doing something like
(1) close files, (2) dump core, (3) exit process (resulting in SIGCHLD)?
I don't think I've ever seen this myself. Peculiarity of some kernels,
perhaps.
