The syslogger isn't restarted at all during a crash --- this isn't
a race-condition scenario.

If there is a race condition here, it must be associated with cleanup
for a process continuing to happen after win32_waitpid has already
reported it dead.  Hmm ... how much do we trust that bit of spaghetti
around pgwin32_deadchild_callback?  What condition is it really waiting
for?
