Not likely, but I'd test it anyway. If the issue is related to AV, it's
certainly fine - you won't be running AV on your Solaris. But more
importantly, Unix has actual support for signals and not just the fake
stuff we have on Win32, so it's likely that the postmaster will be
capable of killing the child processes.
