One cause was discovered and fixed about two weeks ago:

2003-02-17 21:53  tgl

    * src/backend/commands/async.c (REL7_3_STABLE): Async_NotifyHandler
    must save and restore ImmediateInterruptOK.  Fixes known problem
    with failure to respond to 'pg_ctl stop -m fast', and probable
    problems if SIGINT or SIGTERM arrives while processing a SIGUSR2
    interrupt that arrived while waiting for a new client query.

            regards, tom lane
