Can you imagine that the "stuck" thread can prevent the process to make 
further progress because mutual exclusion is required to keep the 
internal data structures in consistent state?

I suggest to fix faulty software before the "catastrophe" will happen.

Have you got different approaches besides fault tolerance or load 
balancing for security handling and application safety in mind?
The current source code seems to have got the potential to set the issue 
on fire before your own urgent phone call.
