We have had one other report of something similar happening. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-782
What Avro version is this happening with? What JVM version? On a hunch, have you tried adding -XX:-UseLoopPredicate to the JVM args if it is Sun and JRE 6u21 or later? (some issues in loop predicates affect Java 6 too, just not as many as the recent news on Java7). Otherwise, it may likely be the same thing as AVRO-782. Any extra information related to that issue would be welcome.
