Hi. I ended up polling pg_stat_activity to wait for the disappearance
of the backend, to avoid the race in my unit tests. Initially
pg_stat_clear_snapshot() seemed to help, but then it didn't. Not
ideal, but I don't see any solution (work-around, really). There's a
new LOGIN event trigger, but no symmetrical FINISH one, and those are
restricted to privileged users, so useless in my case. Oh well. --DD
