IIUC, that'd completely destroy the point of the test, which is to make
sure we clean up when a backend dies unexpectedly. If we allow the
psql's to exit then the backend might be able to complete normal cleanup
before we can SIGKILL it.
Probably the best thing for now is to revert your change and instead
just skip the whole test script on Windows.
