Oops,I've forgotten another freezing issue reported by Alfred Perlstein.
We know the cause(db access in abort transaction state) of it.
Seems xact.c has been pretty changed after I examined it 2 months
ago. Have you already fixed it ? If not,I would examine it again and
fix the bug. OK ?

Here's a reproducible example.

Session-1
# begin;
BEGIN
=# lock t;
LOCK TABLE

Session-2
=# begin;
BEGIN
=# lock t;
[blocked] ^C
Cancel request sent
ERROR: Query cancel requested while waiting lock
reindex=# select * from t;
[blocked]

Session-1
=# commit;
COMMIT

Session-2
ERROR: LockRelation: LockAcquire failed
=# abort;
ROLLBACK
=# lock t;
[blocked]

Regards.
