Concurrency Issue with pg_ctl causing processes to hang in PostgreSQL 15.12

Hi all,
We are encountering a concurrency issue with pg_ctl in PostgreSQL 15.12, two separate processes  are invoking pg_ctl simultaneously on different databases directories:
-   One process is attempting to stop a database.
-   Another process is concurrently executing pg_ctl status to check the PG server state.


Below are the running pg_ctl processes. Here to mention both the DB directories are entirely different.

    pgadmin 25559346 26870100  0  Aug 28   - 0:00 -ksh -c pg_ctl status -D /pgmount/PG/DB/
    pgadmin 25690410 27591028  0  Aug 28   - 0:00 -ksh -c pg_ctl stop -D /pgmount/MS/DB/



This concurrent usage results in both processes hanging indefinitely.
Below are the stacks of both the processes

Is this a known issue in PostgreSQL 15.12?
Are there recommended workarounds or configuration changes to avoid this behaviour?
Is there any way for pg_ctl to internally lock, to prevent such hangs?
Do we need to serialize pg_ctl stop and status, even if we are running different database?
