Hm. So that seems to indicate that, on windows, we're not properly
recognizing dead sockets in the latch code. Could you check, IIRC with
netstat or something like it, in what state the connections are?

Any chance you could single-step through WaitLatchOrSocket() with a
debugger? Without additional information this is rather hard to
diagnose.

Unless I miss something major here the problem is clients disconnecting
and leaving backends hanging. The killing of backends only comes into
play after that's already the case.
