commit    f0d76a515e88a2709e23693c2f9cfb979063dfe2
Author:   Noah Misch <noah@leadboat.com>
Date:     Thu Sep 12 00:10:15 2013 +0000
First released in: 9.4.0, 8.4.18, 9.0.14, 9.1.10, 9.2.5, 9.3.1

    Ignore interrupts during quickdie().
    
    Once the administrator has called for an immediate shutdown or a backend
    crash has triggered a reinitialization, no mere SIGINT or SIGTERM should
    change that course.  Such derailment remains possible when the signal
    arrives before quickdie() blocks signals.  That being a narrow race
    affecting most PostgreSQL signal handlers in some way, leave it for
    another patch.  Back-patch this to all supported versions.
