We're aware of a bug that could cause deadlocks on shutdown. We've 
thought of it as something that people are quite unlikely to run into 
though, so I'm surprised you're seeing it so frequently.

However, it doesn't have anything to do with reconfiguring federation.

Are you restarting the server immediately after reconfiguring 
federation, or some time later?
