I see you just changed them today:

pqsignal(SIGTERM, die); /* cancel current query and exit */
! pqsignal(SIGQUIT, quickdie); /* hard crash time */
! pqsignal(SIGALRM, HandleDeadLock); /* check for deadlock after timeout *

How about:

The database is shutting down.

and not mention server. The current 'system' has to be changed to
'database server' anyway.
