Yes.

Thanks for the report. Since commit cfdf4dc made pg_sleep() react to
postmaster death, the test will need a different way to stall a backend. This
doesn't affect non-test code, and the test still passes against cfdf4dc^ and
against REL_11_STABLE. I've queued a task to update the test code, but review
can proceed in parallel.
