The database did a weird thing today, where it wouldn't even respond to
the usual stop signal, I had to fully `kill -9` it??
I didn't see anything in the logs indicating what it was busy doing,
and people online seem to describe having this problem sometimes but
with no obvious solution.
For now, I'll try turning on the slow query logger, to see if that
might give us hints about whether there was like a denial-of-service
query attack hitting us or something?
