            Description

            New in 1.7.1 is the callback into the SessionDispatcher$Listener class when sessions are invalidated. This was intended to help with ICE-3073 and memory leaks with Acegi filter based session invalidation. However this causes a potential deadlock situation in an application where there are session timeouts occuring interspersed with manual session invalidation.

            Client has an application where the user is taken to a page that creates a new session when the user logs out. After some time, this newly created session will expire and the SessionDispatcher$Monitor class will attempt to invalidate sessions at the same time as the user is logging out. Using JMeter, the deadlock is easy to reproduce.
