parula didn't send any reports to buildfarm for the past 44 hours. Logged in
to see that postgres was stuck on pg_sleep(), which was quite odd! I captured
the backtrace and triggered another run on HEAD, which came out
okay.

I'll keep an eye on this instance more often for the next few days.
(Let me know if I could capture more if a run gets stuck again)
