That usually uses SIGKILL.  If I had to guess, I'd wonder whether the
postmaster was manually started, and if so whether it was properly
dissociated from the user's terminal (with nohup or the like).
If it wasn't, then a control-C typed at the terminal would SIGINT the
postmaster as well as whatever it was meant to terminate.

To find single relations which are using more than 100GB,
you could also run:
|find /base/17312 -name '*.[0-9]??'

(technically that should be a regex and not a shell glob but seems to work well
enough).

My money is on the OoM (Out of Memory) killer.  The standard PDGD install on 
CentOS should disable that, but I'm not sure what OS you're on or how 
PostgreSQL was installed.
