It's really hard to see how that could happen. There is no point in the
lifespan of a backend where there is not a valid signal handler for
SIGALRM --- it inherits SIG_IGN from the postmaster, and changes that
to a normal handler routine before it ever enables the alarm anyway.
Color me baffled ... is it possible this is a kernel or glibc bug?
