I made a pass over the deadlock detection code involved. Nothing stuck out. There's not much in the way of SA-isms in this code. I think anyone with an understanding of how hotspot locking works should be able to navigate it pretty easily and maybe conjure a hypothesis as to why this happens as frequently as it does.
