Yeah, that and the lack of service for new connections would both be
expected if the postmaster is stuck. And the autovac worker start
failures, too. There's only one bug here.

Oh, for some reason I thought it was sitting idle. That sounds more
like an infinite loop. Try reattaching to the postmaster, confirm the
stack trace, and then see how many times you can do "fin" before it
doesn't return control. That will tell us which level of subroutine is
looping.
