R: R: R: BUG #6342: libpq blocks forever in "poll" function

This is the output of "bt full" command in gdb of my test program.
In this case the libpqs was not compiled in debug-mode.

(gdb) bt full
#0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
No symbol table info available.
#1 0xf76539cb in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6
No symbol table info available.
#2 0xf770d39a in pqSocketCheck () from /home/pg/pgsql/lib-32/libpq.so.5

#7 0x08048c3f in read_rigpia ()
No symbol table info available.
#8 0x08048ae9 in main ()

Here below I add the complete stack of my business application (blocked also it) if it can be useful.
In this case, the libpq was compiled in debug-mode and we can see the value parameter of function and the lines numbers of code.
Consider that the stack until PQexecFinish is the same as my test program.

Excerpts from Andrea Grassi's message of mar dic 20 06:01:55 -0300 2011:
> Sorry if I insist, but now I have the case at hand (my test program is now blocked), so I can check and verify all what you want.
> I would like to know if it can be a libpq bug or if you think the fault is due to a system bug or to a machine issue and in this case I would be grateful if you could give me a hint on what could be.

Please attach GDB to the stuck process (gdb -p `pidof testprogram`) and
grab a backtrace (bt full).
