OK, did some further testing and have come to the conclusion it is a bug
(developers, opinions ;)
Basically, without looking at it in too much detailed, I worked out that the
daemon was calling sql_destroy_socket on the rlm_sql_postgres module, which
doesn't implement the method. Since calls to non implemented functions
causes an exit(), the whole daemon (almost) silently dies whenever a HUP (or
other signal that would cause a call to sql_destroy_socket).
I implemented the destroy_socket function (it just does nothing) and rebuild
and voila - all good now :) I would like to propose (I'm willing to do this
myself if desired by the team via a patch or whatever) to both fix this bug,
and have the not_implemented function at least die with some useful
information.
The output now (on my version) looks like this upon being given a HUP:

Either way, I hope I helped out someone else who may be suffering the same
issue.
Thanks all,
Fenn.
