Are these the only two postgres processes on this box?  You should
have a few others that look something like this:

/usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/bin/postgres -D .......
postgres  5178  0.0  0.0  40268   692 ?        Ss   Apr07   0:00
postgres: writer process
postgres  5179  0.0  0.0  40268   612 ?        Ss   Apr07   0:00
postgres: wal writer process
postgres  5180  0.0  0.0  40268   836 ?        Ss   Apr07   0:00
postgres: autovacuum launcher process
postgres  5181  0.0  0.0  11588   588 ?        Ss   Apr07   0:00
postgres: stats collector process

If those are the only two postgres processes then something's gone wrong.

If not, then find out what other processes are blocking the ones you
have that are waiting.
