I now have

  escape_string_warning = off

and

  standard_conforming_strings = on

in postgresql.conf and things are back to how they were.  That is no
warnings and backslashes treated literally.

could have been sent from a client that caused a fast shutdown?  Our
server log shows a fast shutdown request last night, but nobody
manually issued such a request.
