Bug reference:      6101
Logged by:          Dmitry

PostgreSQL version: 9.0.4
Operating system:   Debian i686 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem
Description:        ALTER TABLE hangs with AccessExclusiveLock
Details:

ALTER locks the table AccessExclusiveLock and hangs.
I can break it with Ctrl-C in psql, but it 100% reproduces in any session.

Are there any other sessions running concurrently? Is a lock on the table you are trying to ALTER already held by another transaction according to pg_locks ?

So far there's no evidence that this is anything except locking doing its job.
