As far as I can recall at the moment, no Postgres child process would ever
choose to exit with exit code 3; we use 0, 1, and 2, but not 3.  I am
thinking that maybe you've got some custom code in plperl or plpython or
some such that does an exit(3).

Or maybe the exit(3) is in an extension that is preloaded into all
processes via shared_preload_libraries or similar?
