Well, that raises an interesting point: exactly where in this code does
ownership of the HANDLEs get propagated to the child processes?  As
written, the HANDLEs seem to belong only to the postmaster --- will the
kernel calls even work in the child processes?  According to what
someone was telling me the other day, HANDLEs are process-local, so just
storing them in shared memory doesn't seem like it should work.
