I've done strace and noticed that this SHH daemon is repeating next output:

Original client was interrupted by me before the backend has hung and
I've found neither its process (in task manager) nor corresponding
netstat output line.

By the way, I've also noticed that the SSH daemon's (which is in
FIN_WAIT2) timer is "off" and took a look at tcp_fin_timeout...

pgdb:~ # netstat -pnao |grep 37465
tcp        1 131072 127.0.0.1:5432          127.0.0.1:37465
CLOSE_WAIT  24855/postgres: kon unkn-4 (41.30/0/0)
tcp    73728      0 127.0.0.1:37465         127.0.0.1:5432
FIN_WAIT2   10511/sshd: dcsshcl off (0.00/0/0)
pgdb:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
60

...which is 60. I wonder are there another variables which affect on
FIN_WAIT2 timeout?
