The client in question is written in ESQL/C and I will enable the (very good) ESQL/C logging feature of this interface to get an understanding what the client was sending before this connection gets stuck. We will produce tons of log files, but apart of Linux strace or tcpdump with even more tons, I don't see any way at the moment. The situation is relatively seldom.
