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.
