Deadlock caused by compiler and cache lock | Cold Fusion 8.0.1

In ColdFusion 8.0.1, a deadlock can occur when multiple threads simultaneously try to lock the template cache to load a CFC class. When this type of deadlock occurs, several consecutive thread dumps list multiple threads in a WAITING state. See Additional information, below, for an example stack trace a thread encountering a deadlock.

Follow the instructions below to apply the fix to ColdFusion 8.0.1. Don't apply these fixes to any beta or prerelease version of ColdFusion.

Here is an example stack trace of a thread that is encountering a deadlock and would be listed in multiple consecutive thread dumps. This type of stack trace can occur normally and doesn't necessarily indicate an issue with ColdFusion.
