  I have an application that uses libpq function calls. Upon receipt of
a signal from another application I need to abort whatever is going on
inside of libpq. This is easy enough with a setjmp/longjump, but is there a way
to cause whatever libpq function that is executing to finish up
gracefully and return? It seems that I'm always getting interrupted
while libpq is doing a malloc or a free. Longjumping out causes the
malloc or free to be re-entered later, leading to a SEGV later.
