Seeing a deadlock in the Modular Service Container thread on JBoss EAP6

Issue

The problem occurs, while binding a JNDI LinkRef within a method of startable Singleton EJB annotated with @PostConstruct. This LinkRef is required because of some backward compatibility issues (mappedName of EJBs is not ignored in JBoss EAP 6 e.g. @Statless(mappedName = "ejbs/service/InfoService").

From the ThreadDump you can see, there are a " locked " and a " waiting on " within the trace.

The problem was also reported here: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5523
