If you don't mind a little hackery, I found a simple way to
terminate backends that don't react to interrupts that avoids
"kill -9" and the ensuing crash recovery:

- Attach to the backend with gdb.
- Enter "print ProcessInterrupts()"

Of course that will not work if the backend is in uninterruptible
sleep (for example, stuck in an I/O operation).

Yours,
