Oh, I thought FATAL was disconnectiong other sessions. Yeah, that was
not bad enough.

Here is a better one:

psql postgres -c 'savepoint q; select 1'
FATAL: DefineSavepoint: unexpected state STARTED
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
