[Opensymphony-oscache] Deadlock using GeneralCacheAdministrator

Well, it looks similar to the dining philosophers problem, but our problem differs from it in the way that the dining philosophers is a conceptual problem (in the sense that this problem cannot be solved as long as the philosophers are working independently) whereas this problem can be solved conceptually (the workaround that I mentioned seems to work ok). 
Therefore, I think that it should be possible to solve this problem inside oscache (but it may clash with how oscache is currently implemented). Viz, a (very naive) solution would be to simply incorporate the workaround code into oscache.
