The "list all blocking queries" I run doesn't show that anything is blocking it 
(though it blocks
everything else), and neither top(1) nor iotop(1) show any activity.

If it matters, this script is fed to the databases via the JDBC driver, and it 
works fine when I run it via psql.
(I'd gladly run the scripts manually, but these are child databases, and a 
parent db must be updated
at the same time by a canned application.)

Where in Postgres can I look to see why it's just sitting there?
select * from pg_stat_activity;
might shed some light?
That (plus pg_locks) is the heart of the "list all blocking queries" statement I copied
from https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Lock_Monitoring.
If there is nothing with "granted" set to FALSE in "pg_locks", you are not 
blocked by
a database lock.

What is the "state" of the hanging database session in "pg_stat_activity"?

If it is "idle" or "idle in transaction", then the lock must be in your Java 
process.

Good question.  I'll look at that the next time we try it.
