It seems rather improbable that a deadlock inside glibc would be our
bug.  Also, I've just looked very carefully through all the diffs
between 8.4.7 and 8.4.11 (or at least, all the diffs affecting libpq)
and I don't see anything that could plausibly lead to this behavior.

I can't help observing that that person is also using ubuntu, and that
we have not heard similar complaints from anybody else.  Ubuntu-specific
glibc bug perhaps?  A slightly different theory is an ubuntu-specific
openssl bug; if there were something wrong in the internal locking
in libcrypto, it could well lead to a backtrace like this.
