... but having said that, I see Peter's commit
d6de43099ac0bddb4b1da40088487616da892164 only touched postgres.c's
quickdie(), and not all the *other* background processes with identical
coding.  That seems a clear oversight, so I will go fix it.  Doesn't
explain why the archiver would get confused, though, since that file
doesn't have any code that tries to re-enable signals after entering the
signal handler.
