Complete blocking of Java process

It's incomprehensible. Suddenly, we started experiencing a situation where all threads in the Java process reach the BLOCKED state and the process is completely frozen. There is no jvm.log or hs * .log file to indicate what is happening.

The jstack dump lists many threads, all in BLOCKED state, some of them as puzzling as this:

Thread 14766: (state = BLOCKED)
- java.lang.String.substring(int, int) @bci=62, line=1939 (Compiled frame)
- java.util.Formatter.parse(java.lang.String) @bci=73, line=2469 (Compiled frame)
- java.util.Formatter.format(java.util.Locale, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object[]) @bci=213, line=2438 (Compiled frame)
- java.util.Formatter.format(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object[]) @bci=7, line=2367 (Compiled frame)
- java.lang.String.format(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object[]) @bci=9, line=2769 (Compiled frame)

(cuts off the rest)

Or that:

(cuts off the rest)

I have to admit that although I tried to find the cause on the internet, I don't know where to start looking for it.

This happens under jdk1.6.0_31

Are they all locked in string operations? You may have run out of heap memory space (do "jstat -gc" on process hanging)

What is OS? Multithreading issues are very OS dependent as their implementation is OS dependent. Java streams are just an abstraction of OS streaming.

I am running the program with -verbosegc

. It seems to be locked waiting for some free space.

This part of the exception:

org.apache.log4j.Category.callAppenders(org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent) @bci=26, line=206 (Compiled frame)
org.apache.log4j.Category.forcedLog(java.lang.String, org.apache.log4j.Priority, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Throwable) @bci=14, line=391 (Interpreted frame)
org.apache.log4j.Category.error(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Throwable) @bci=37, line=322 (Interpreted frame)

This is probably due to a bug in log4j. Check out the following web page:
