Assuming signal 2 is SIGINT on Solaris (look in /usr/include/signal.h
to make sure, but that's pretty standard), this would indicate that
something is sending SIGINT to the postmaster.  The postmaster will
interpret that as a fast shutdown request.  So the problem is not with
the postmaster, but with whatever is sending the signal.

I suspect this isn't a platform problem so much as a setup mistake.
How are you launching the postmaster?  Is it possible it's still
connected to a controlling terminal?  (If so, the shell would probably
SIGINT the postmaster anytime you typed control-C.)
