---------------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-CASSANDRA-5273-add-timeouts-to-the-blocking-commitlo.patch

this is very hard to reproduce (and i have never seen it happen in any of our clusters) so i simply added timeouts to the Thread#join methods in CommitLog#shutdownBlocking

> On out of memory exception, there is an uncaughtexception handler that is calling System.exit(). However, multiple threads are calling this handler causing a deadlock and the server cannot stop working. See http://www.mail-archive.com/user@cassandra.apache.org/msg27898.html. And see stack trace in attachement.
