Should this cause a coredump when it happens?  With rc1 whenever I
do a shutdown I get a core file

core:           ELF 32-bit MSB core file SPARC Version 1, from 'postgres'

(gdb) bt
#0  0xff0a02d4 in _libc_kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1  0xff035a5c in abort () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#2  0x0020cd50 in errfinish ()
#3  0x0006d258 in RestoreArchivedFile ()
