Seems like you have got a network issue.  What does netstat show for the
status of that connection?

I don't think that a query cancel will blow PG off the send; you'd
probably have to resort to kill -9 on that process (with a consequent
restart of other sessions).  It's odd that the kernel hasn't given up
on the connection yet ...
