There is also some additional complexity supporting the scenario where two
different threads are triggering “receive” events on the filter.

We either have to process ALL messages out of the payload, then AFTER send
them to the downstream filters or we have to perform a kind of dual-locking
mechanism to ensure that multiple receiver threads to not operate in
parallel.  Either way, we have to guarantee a serial processing of incoming
messages.

The more I think about it the more concerned I am that we’re following a
rabbit down a hole.

@Kishore Mokkarala <kishore....@gmail.com> have you tried NOT using the SSL
and instead creating a dummy filter which simply added synchronized to the
receive and write method?  I would be interested to know if that causes the
problem also.  Put this dummy filter in the same place as the SSL would be.
