/*
 * This version of pqsignal() exists only because pre-9.3 releases
 * of libpq exported pqsignal(), and some old client programs still
 * depend on that.  (Since 9.3, clients are supposed to get it from
 * libpgport instead.)
 *
 * Because it is only intended for backwards compatibility, we freeze it
 * with the semantics it had in 9.2; in particular, this has different
 * behavior for SIGALRM than the version in src/port/pqsignal.c.
 *
 * libpq itself does not use this.
