OK, I think I know what happened.  I sent a TERM signal to the
postmaster.  On a TERM signal, the postmaster waits for all client

I killed the runsv process watching the postmaster.  runsvdir probably
started a new runsv which repeatedly tried to start a new postmaster.

So I guess it was my fault.
