R: R: BUG #6342: libpq blocks forever in "poll" function

Sorry if I insist, but now I have the case at hand (my test program is now blocked), so I can check and verify all what you want.
I would like to know if it can be a libpq bug or if you think the fault is due to a system bug or to a machine issue and in this case I would be grateful if you could give me a hint on what could be.

Regards, Andrea

That means it's not waiting in a kernel call right now. Was the program
in the hung state you've observed at the time you ran the command? Its
output would only be interesting when it's hung.

Old kernel, maybe? You're running on some kind of enterprise-y distro,
so who knows how ancient half the stuff in there is.
