Bug reference: 7676
Logged by: yonchao
Email address: yongchao(dot)xu(at)newtouch(dot)cn
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.6
Operating system: CentOS 5.5（64bit）
Description:

I have this problem today: one thread of our application hung, and
we found the thread waiting for the result of poll() function. poll()
was called by pgSocketCheck(). So is it a bug of pg? I found the bug
report from
website(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-02/msg00260.php),
and want to know:

1. Has this problem been solved in the newest version?
2. If not, what shall I do to avoid this problem?

Thanks a lot!
