 Hi all,

I'm using postgresql 9.3.4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago) 
Linux 193-45-142-74 2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 11 17:27:00 EDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Server specs:
4x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7- 4870  @ 2.40GHz (40 physical cores in total)
441 GB of RAM I have a schema when multi process daemon is setted up on the system and each process holds 1 postgresql session.

Each process of this daemon run readonly queries over the database.
In normal situation it at most 35 ms for queries but from time to time (at a random point of time) each database session hanges in some very strange semop call. Here is a part of the strace:

You may see that semop took 2 seconds from the whole system call.
Same semops could be find in other database sessions.

Could you point me how can i find
