executeQuery hangs my application

Hi,

I have a problem with the PostgreSQL JDBC drivers 8.1+.

In my code I call the executeQuery method and sometimes it seems to lock my application.
I tried to update the driver to the newer 8.2 version but I obtained the same result ...

The database server version is 8.1 for Windows (but I am not the administrator)
I have found this problem (for now) only on this server ...

the jdbc log is the following:

******************************************************************************

at this point no other log messages are printed and the application seems locked on the executeQuery method.
The database connection is opened (even if I wait for 2 or 3 hours ...)

Any hints?
Thanks in advance.
