The pg_dump process, or the backend?

The last query shown is

SELECT classid, objid, refclassid, refobjid, deptype FROM pg_depend WHERE 
deptype != 'p' ORDER BY 1,2

so apparently something is fishy about the dependency data.  Can you
execute this query by hand and get results?

It could be that pg_depend is corrupted in a way that locks up the
backend trying to read it, or it could be that pg_dump is getting
confused and going into a loop trying to process the data.  I can't
tell from this description.
