Hi all,
I have recently upgraded from postgresql 7.4.7 to 8.3.7. Since then, I
have experienced in our application a thread that hangs forever. The
problem is quite difficult to trace, since the program hangs very
irregularly. Sometimes it hangs after 10 minutes already, sometimes only
after two days.
After searching the archives, I thought this was maybe connected to batch
inserts and batch updates. Since the thread in question is doing a lot of
batch updates and inserts, I changed it to do normal updates/inserts. But
without success.
I have also upgraded to the latest version of the JDBC driver, compiled
from CVS, because I saw there was some improvement regarding
DescribeStatement messages. No success, either.
The call stack of the hanging thread is as follows:

Any hints on how I could go about debugging this issue?
BTW, I am using Java 1.5.0_18-b02 from Sun on Debian Lenny on an AMD64
platform.
Thanks in advance!
