Here is a patch to fix the issues. I hope the fixes will be ported
to older versions if possible.
(1) is fixed by using non-blocking APIs in libpq. I think we should
always use non-blocking APIs even if the dblink function itself is
a blocking-function.
(2) is fixed by RegisterXactCallback(AtEOXact_dblink). However, there
might be any better solutions -- for example, ResourceOwner framework.

Please check execute_query() and wait_for_result() in the patch.
