That reads to me like it’s cancelling another backend than the current one,
which clearly isn’t right as we’re passing pg_backend_pid(). I can’t really
see what Windows specific bug was introduced by this patch though (or well, the
bug exhibits itself on Windows but it may well be generic of course).
Will continue to hunt.
