sounds like a typical synchronisation/concurrency/memorymodel problem.
If not in your code, then maybe in the executor service or its queue.

How about posting code?

Most likely taking a heapdump will make you see where counter/flags
dont agree with datastructures or where wakeups are required.

(A good first start is to change all waits with wait(1000) :) )

PS: you can of course write a simple "multi threaded offer" client to
see if you can reproduce it without JMH.
