5491233f52 Ensure that 'errno' is saved and restored by all signal handlers that
might change it.  Experimentation shows that the signal handler call
mechanism does not save/restore errno for you, at least not on Linux
or HPUX, so this is definitely a real risk.

a626b78c89 Clean up backend-exit-time cleanup behavior. Use on_shmem_exit callbacks
to ensure that we have released buffer refcounts and so forth, rather than
putting ad-hoc operations before (some of the calls to) proc_exit.  Add
commentary to discourage future hackers from repeating that mistake.

 Again thanks Kovacs, you found really designing bug, that appear
if anyone write bad format template to "number" version of to_char()
(as you with 'DD').
