It's because the test sets deadlock_timeout lower than
max_standby_streaming_delay.

I the the only reason the patch works at all is because we end up in
InteractiveBackend()'s EOF handling, because InteractiveBackend reads from
stdin. That's closed here, but I don't think we have any guarantee that stdin
isn't something that can be read from.
