Hello Shawn,

Since you are using Spread 4.1, this may be a fixed problem. The Spread 4.2 release that came out in June has a number of fixes (especially to the Java API) which solved a number of deadlock, disconnection and crash bugs. If you can try the 4.2 release and see if that resolves the problem, or look at the changes to the Java API between 4.1 and 4.2 and merge them into the version of the Java library that you use that could help. 

I've included the summary release notes below. 

Cheers,

Jonathan

The main new features of this release are:

1) Added Keepalive support to client-server TCP connections. Requires correct
   operating system values set for keepalives in order to be useful. 
2) Switch internal code to use MONOTONIC clocks when available and appropriate
   to remove chance of system clock changes (from the clock being set) from affecting
   message processing
3) Break out events, memory, data_link and alarm code into separate 
   libspread-util package. This package also has a number of improvements in
   the functionality of those code files which are listed in the internal
   package release notes. 

It also includes a number of important bug fixes. The most significant include:

1) Fix bug with structure size on 64 bit platforms causing crash.
2) Fix several deadlock, crashes and race conditions in java Listener code.
3) Fix 100 ms timeout in java socket handling code so it does not corrupt 
   messages that take a long time to arrive. 
4) Fix java disconnect bug that prevented client from reconnecting until restarted.
5) Remove cause of slow message delivery when a client is receiving a lot of
   messages and gets into a badger state. 
6) Improve help output and error messages in utility programs. 
7) Fix token hurry bug that caused messages to have a 2 second latency in 
   specific circumstances.
8) Fix crash bug when new daemon configuration files are loaded while the
   system is running.
