I tried a SIGHUP, SIGINT and SIGQUIT.

Do you believe a postgres process in the following:
#0 0x00002ba62c18f085 in send () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1 0x0000000000504765 in internal_flush ()
#2 0x0000000000504896 in internal_putbytes ()
#3 0x00000000005048fc in pq_putmessage ()
#4 0x0000000000505ea4 in pq_endmessage ()
...
is listening for some other signal? I, of course, didn't try a
SIGKILL. This is a production database.
