... as an update, what it appears to be doing is executing the first
step of each job, successfully. Then, for some reason, it attempts to
destroy that jobthread after just the first step. I say "attempts"
because that child backend is still running, and none of pga_job,
pga_joblog, or pga_jobsteplog get updated.
I've looked in jobs.cpp and pgAgent.cpp, and I can't figure out what
would cause it to stop after the first step. All of the steps I've
looked at are regular queries, and can be successfully executed by hand.
