That usually uses SIGKILL.  If I had to guess, I'd wonder whether the
postmaster was manually started, and if so whether it was properly
dissociated from the user's terminal (with nohup or the like).
If it wasn't, then a control-C typed at the terminal would SIGINT the
postmaster as well as whatever it was meant to terminate.
