Ah, thank you and sorry for not checking the EA in advance. It does indeed 
catch the problem I'm seeing.

However, judging from the description ("[...] in a very rare situation") 
of the linked bug report and the nature of the solution (a timeout if the 
CG phase takes too long), it seems to me that this might be a workaround 
to a problem that you might not have been able to reproduce reliably 
enough to find any root cause. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

If that is the case, I do indeed have a close to perfectly reproducible 
test-case over here, so if you want me to produce information for you to 
find the actual root cause, I'd be happy to do so.
