Hey Fabio, Yes you are absolutely correct. Somehow it was a locker issue even though I have locker and unlocker everywhere I thought I needed them. I couldn't find the exact point at which everything would get deadlocked but it didn't matter. My app was actually in a really good position to lock the entries to one thread per isolate anyways so I did that, made one global locker at the time the pump started (I had to use locker because in the app does initialization and code loading on a different thread that uses locker) and it all works smoothly again with no platform hacks.
Thanks for responding with this info! It really helped talk me off the ledge.
