Can you disable DEBUG_MEMLEAK_ORPHAN_FREEING? That's mainly used for
debugging but I don't think it is was causing the hang. I haven't
changed the locking mechanism since version 0.7 but maybe some other
bug made its way in.

It is DEBUG_MEMLEAK_ORPHAN_FREEING issue. Disabling it solved the problem.
