The server continue the job when the connection is aborted.
You can confirm by the following procedure.
0. connect to the server normally.
1. query the following statement
=# update tbl set clmn = (select to_number(pg_sleep(10)||'10','20'));
2. kill client-side psql process before the result returns.
3. reconnect the server and "select" query on tbl.

The communication between a client and the server is normal.
The server is so busy that the server can return ack packet and can't work statement_timeout.
In this case, the client may wait for very long time.
This parameter is effective for such clients.

In the current postgres, PQgetResult() called by sync command "PQexec()" uses pqWait().
If the user wishes to sync communication, how do you specify the waiting time limit?
It makes sense to implement in pqWait() that can wait clients indefinitely, I think.

Thank you for your comment.
I adopted your documentation in the current patch.

Thank you for your summary.
