CLOSE_WAIT means that the client (in this case SSH) has shutdown() its
end of the connection and evidently postgresql hasn't noticed. However,
SSH has not closed its socket entirely, because then the write would
fail.

Can you strace the SSH daemon, my bet is that it's also stuck on a
write(), to the original client. It would also be interesting to know
what the original client is doing, since it's obviously still alive.
Looks like somewhere along the chain a program called shutdown() but is
no longer reading incoming data...

Hope this helps,
