In a standalone backend, I think there are only 3 ways to get to
normal shutdown:
    * SIGTERM
    * SIGQUIT
    * EOF on stdin

It's not very clear which of those your setup is triggering.

In any case, debugging standalone mode is very very rarely
what you should be doing; it's only vaguely related to normal
operation, plus you lack all the creature comforts of psql.
The usual thing is to start a normal interactive session, find out
the PID of its connected backend process ("select pg_backend_pid()"
is a reliable way), and then attach to that process with GDB or your
debugger of choice.

            regards, tom lane
