Thanks, Tom.
 
The statement_timeout setting was also raised on the JDBC list, and has been 
checked -- there is nothing setting statement_timeout.  The connection shows 
this value at zero.  None of our code contains anything PostgreSQL specific, so 
there is nothing in our framework or applications that would be aware of the 
"set statement_timeout" command to be able to issue it.  I created the database 
instance, the user and the database, and have not set this as a default 
anywhere.
 
Regarding the possibility that a ulimit setting is sending the signal, I am 
using "su" to set user id to root, issuing the ulimit statements to set 
everything unlimited or very high, then using "su" to set user id to postgres.  
At that point the settings from root still show.  Then I'm starting postgres 
using pg_ctl.  Is there any reason the ulimit settings would not carry through 
with this approach?  Is there a better way to do it?
 
Other than that, what external causes might be at fault when I have both 
Windows machines and Linux machines which have nothing installed but the 
operating system and PostgreSQL?  The only ulimit settings I couldn't set to 
"unlimited" were pipe size and open files.  Is there any chance that the 
error/rollback path in the code is leaking open files on the server?  Is there 
anything I should run during the test to watch for potential resource 
exhaustion?

The only possible trigger of that message is a SIGINT sent to the backend.
Now the backend will SIGINT itself if a statement timeout expires, so one
possibility is that you have statement_timeout set and it's getting
exceeded.  Otherwise you need to be looking for external causes.
