terminating connection because of crash of another server process

Hi, all.

i have two tables (teste1 and teste2).
i was inserting one million rows on each by a script PHP.
In another process, i have created a view (ct1t2) to count rows on the tables and started it
then i killed the script (killing the apache server) and in another process i've executed the command 'truncate table teste1'
the both process (select - by the view and truncate) get locked by a long time.
then i kill the process executing the truncate.
the result:

STATEMENT:  create view ct1t2 as select count(t1.id_linha) as ct1, count(t2.id_linha) as ct2 from teste1 t1, teste2 t2;
LOG:  unexpected EOF on client connection                                                                                                              <-- when i killed apache
LOG:  server process (PID 3421) was terminated by signal 9: Killed                                                                             <-- when i killed de truncate
