Queries with more than 1692 characters hang

I'm having a very strange problem where any queries I make that have more
than 1692 characters in them hang forever (cancel backend doesn't work
either). It only happens on my computer which is OSX 10.9 and I've tried
psql 9.2.1 and 9.3.3. The server is 9.2.2 and it only happens when querying
this specific server.

The query I'm making is "select 'llllll';" where "l" is repeated to make
the query 1692 characters long including the spaces and keywords before the
semi-colon.

Any idea what happened?

Thanks,

Jason
