Tom Lane fb489e4b31 In bootstrap mode, use default signal handling for SIGINT etc.
Previously, the code pointed the standard process-termination signals
to postgres.c's die().  That would typically result in an attempt to
execute a transaction abort, which is not possible in bootstrap mode,
leading to PANIC.  This choice seems to be a leftover from an old code
structure in which the same signal-assignment code was used for many
sorts of auxiliary processes, including interactive standalone
backends.  It's not very sensible for bootstrap mode, which has no
interest in either interactivity or continuing after an error.  We can
get better behavior with less effort by just letting normal process
termination happen, after which the parent initdb process will clean up.

This is basically cosmetic in any case, since initdb will react the
same way whether bootstrap dies on a signal or abort().  Given the
lack of previous complaints, I don't feel a need to back-patch,
even though the behavior is old.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
