Tibco EMS application encountering hangs after updating kernel

Issue

After an update to 2.6.18-371.9.1.el5, the Tibco EMS application started to have issues:

Tibco core file appears to be hanging in a write() call:

Thread 8 (Thread 0x2b7c1904f940 (LWP 6199)):
#0  0x00000032decc750b in write () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1  0x00000032dec6ae53 in _IO_new_file_write () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#2  0x00000032dec6c293 in _IO_new_file_xsputn () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#3  0x00000032dec47b42 in buffered_vfprintf () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#4  0x00000032dec42d4a in vfprintf () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#5  0x00000032dec4cf08 in fprintf () from /lib64/libc.so.6

It shows that the system write() call didn't return which blocks EMS other threads.
