Now that you mention it, it tries to do exactly that:
void
quickdie(SIGNAL_ARGS)
{PG_SETMASK(&BlockSig);elog(NOTICE, "Message from PostgreSQL backend:"...
BlockSig includes SIGUSR1. So why is the quickdie() routine entered
again? I'm back to suspecting something funny in Solaris' signal
handling...
