Yes. I added the sleep just before MarkPostmasterChildWalSender() in
walsender.c,
compiled, started replication, and then requested smart shutdown as soon as
walsender was forked (i.e., during the sleep). Without the patch, the server got
stuck infinitely. With the patch, smart shutdown worked as expected.
