Is it really hung, or just taking an awfully long time?  If the backend
is consuming no CPU or I/O then I'd agree it's the former; please look
into the pg_locks view to see if you can find out what it's waiting for.
If it's the latter, maybe you neglected to create an index on OID?

We'd certainly have heard about it if so.  But you haven't provided
enough info to let anyone reproduce the problem for investigation.
