Thank you for the comment, Chris. You are right.
I've already figured my mistake/confusion (shared it on our team meeting) but
tested my update which has been just pushed. My analysis in the bug report is
incorrect, I'll update it soon. In fact, I don't really know what was the root
cause of this deadlock because I can't reproduce the issue. Also, it is not
easy to figure out by the code observation. The only idea I have is that it was
a spurious wakeup on the `wait()` at line 52 in the Breakpoint handler of the
native agent. I've added a couple of checks for robustness and added more
tracing to get more details if this happen again.
