This isn't PQreset()'s fault that I can see.  This is a race condition
caused by bogosity in PostgresMain --- it enables SIGUSR1 before it's
set up the correct signal handler for same.  The postmaster should have
started the child process with all signals blocked, so SIGUSR1 will be
held off until the child explicitly enables it; but it does so a few
lines too soon.  Will fix.
