Finding out on exactly what I am stuck

Hi,

I've got a JDBC client which got hung in reading response to a DML statement:

    [junit] "Thread-11201" prio=1 tid=0x0000002ac9df56e0 nid=0x3995
runnable [0x0000000041a70000..0x0000000041a70db0]

    [junit]     at
org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.executeUpdate(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:304)

I can also identify a couple of back-end processes presumably related
to the client:

postgres 14727  9868  0 22:34 ?        00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs
chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12496) idle in transaction
postgres 14735  9868  0 22:34 ?        00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs
chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12497) idle in transaction
postgres 14737  9868  0 22:34 ?        00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs
chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12498) UPDATE waiting
postgres 14738  9868  0 22:34 ?        00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs
chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12499) idle
postgres 14739  9868  0 22:34 ?        00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs
chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12500) idle
postgres 14740  9868  0 22:34 ?        00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs
chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12501) idle

Please, could you suggest me a couple of things which I can/should
check and how I can do it? (Locks/contention would be an obvious
candidate, but I am fairly sure that the database has only one client:
mine.)

Thanks
Peter
