[HACKERS] PostgreSQL doesn't stop propley when --slot option is specified with pg_receivexlog.

Hi, "pg_ctl stop" does't work propley, if --slot option is specified when WAL is flushed only it has switched. These processes still continue even after the posmaster failed:pg_receivexlog, walsender and logger. How to reproduce: 1.Start PostgreSQL 2.Create slot 3.Specify --slot option to pg_re
