Hi Matteo, I don't think that will cause a deadlock. It will cause some incorrectly formatted input / output. The easiest fix is to move this from Application to Session and adjust the bindings.
As for the lockups, you really need to get thread dumps to assess those.
jstack is an easy way to do this.
