Uh, no, that is certainly *not* the behavior you were getting in 8.1; 8.1's behavior corresponds to both switches off. > A related question, is it in any way possible that a control sequence > could have been sent from a client that caused a fast shutdown?

The only way I've heard for that to happen "accidentally" is if you normally launch the postmaster by hand in a way that leaves it attached to your terminal session --- then control-C in that session would SIGINT the postmaster. regards, tom lane
