Hm. That may be worth doing something about, but the proposed patch
seems more like a quick-and-dirty hack than a solution. The main
thing I don't like about it is that if we care about this scenario
during initial startup, we should also care about it during a \c
command, but just delaying the installation of the signal handler
won't fix that case.
More generally, what if the server becomes unreachable mid-session?
I'm not sure how much there is to be done about that case, since
there's probably no good way to distinguish it from a query that
takes a really long time. But if we're going to think about this,
we might as well think about all the cases.
