I had this problem for the first time last night. It locked up my server (on 97% load) for a lot longer than 40 seconds! Unfortunately I can't reproduce it, so I can't help with solving the problem yet. But it did happen soon after I changed from the trunk to the split-scanner branch, so I don't know if its related to that? Anyway, I've voted for your bug so the Slim guys know that more than one person is having problems.
