We had bugs long ago (8.0 or before) where SIGTERM'ing a backend could
result in lock entries not getting cleaned up, but that's all fixed now
AFAIK. I tried some simple experiments with SIGTERM'ing a VACUUM in
8.3.x and couldn't reproduce a problem. So there must have been some
other contributing factor here, but without any idea what it was, it's
hard to investigate further :-(
