This is pretty interesting - where can I read more on this? Windows isn't
actually hanging, one single command line window is - from its behaviour, it
looks like the TCL postgresql package is waiting for pg_exec to come back
from the commit (I believe the commit has actually gone through).

It could even be that there's something wrong with the TCL package, but from
my understanding it is one of the most complete interfaces out there - which
is weird, because TCL seems to be the most unpopular language in the
community.
