Thanks for posting this information. Unfortunately, as you found,
it's hard to search for unless you already know the cause. I've
started editing a 'MysteriousDeadlock' item in the wiki to contain
a pointer to your posting, and if sourceforge speeds up just a
little I may be able to save it in a few more hours.
