Hi Jens,

I tried your patch, but it didn't help. Interestingly, the number of
threads changes in the end. At first, during the run:

Is the number of threads supposed to change?..

Never answered this one... Yes, it'll change, since when you run the
job, you'll have one backend process, a number of IO workers, and one
disk util thread typically. When you get stuck, it's the backend that is
left waiting for that mutex.

In any case, I haven't been able to figure this one out yet. But it
should be safe enough to just ignore the stat mutex for the final
output, since the threads otherwise accessing it are gone. Can you see
if this one makes the issue go away?

Patch was not compiled, was missing the non-static __show_run_stats(). But just pull current -git, I have committed a variant that does compile :-)
