This kind of issue is better discussed, at least initially on Doug Lea's concurrency interest list: concurrency-inter...@cs.oswego.edu

The stack shows that it is the lock acquisition that is blocking indefinitely, not the poll itself. That is why it doesn't time out and why it hangs again immediately after you interrupt the thread.

You need to see what is happening to other threads using this LBQ and whether one of them holds the lock and is itself "stuck" somewhere. You also need to see if there are any asynchronous exceptions involved (Thread.stop use, or StackOverflowException) as these can corrupt the internal state of an AbstractQueuedSynchronizer like ReentrantLock.

I already posted the question here:

Could one of you guys take a look? Thanks!
