That's perfectly normal --- it indicates that pid 11157 is waiting for
a row-level lock that's currently held by pid 6421. We translate
row-level locking delays into waits for XID locks in order to limit
the number of distinct locks that have to be remembered in the shared
lock table. (We'd soon blow out shared memory if per-row lock data had
to be kept there.)
As Peter stated, there's no evidence of an actual problem in this
bug report. I'd go looking for clients sitting with open
transactions...
