Abstract:  On startup with Replication enabled, an IndexOutOfBoundsException and deadlock occurs

Description/symptom of problem:  When attempting to start the application server, it does not startup cleanly. In such a configuration, the application server will have been configured to use replication with Dyanmic Caching where many caching instances are created in on JVM.  The hang and the exception are caused by deadlocks between threads completing initialization and threads already attempting to use resources still being initialized. This fix contains some fixes that fix this problem.
