Yup, the server process is still up and going, i have other clients
connected to postgres that still function when this happens. I'm not
using the LOAD command anywhere so thats not the problem. One of my
colleagues was doing some reading and said he found something that
stating that the fini() function is "unreliable", i'm not sure where
he read that though...
