I noticed to your patch doesn't seem to register a SIGIO handler, i.e.
it doesn't use async IO machinery (or rather a tiny part thereof) to
get asynchronously notified if the postmaster dies. 

If that is on purpose, you can remove the fsetown() call, as it serves
no purpose without such a handler I think. Or, you might want to add
such a signal handler, and make it simply do "kill(getpid(), SIGTERM)".
