Thanks for testing, and sorry I didn't run a full check-world after that rebase. What happened here is that after commit cfdf4dc4 landed on master, every implementation now needs to check for exit_on_postmaster_death, and this patch didn't get the message. Those processes are stuck in their main loops having detected postmaster death, but not having any handling for it. Will fix.
