FWIW, I have seen this error on a stressed CF7 box undergoing GC thrashing, where it basically meant the server was totally resource starved and about to die. I have a vague recollection that the queue in question is not the list of jrpp worker threads but rather the queue of things waiting to be assigned to a worker thread. Obviously CF8 changes the game, but I presume you've ruled out memory issues, infinite loops, pathological GCs etc?
