You're stuck in some kind of infinite loop --- there's no way that DROP
should take any noticeable amount of time. I'm guessing that the system
catalog entries for this particular table are corrupted somehow, but no
idea just how. It would be worth trying to track it down in case there
is a PG bug lurking.
Can you attach to the looping backend with a debugger and get a stack
trace for us?
