Deadlock as a security mechanism? by toysbfun2007-04-26 12:49:53
  A deadlock is two tasks waiting for each other, ri by bwkaz2007-04-26 14:42:56
    Depends on whether the resources are unique. by Phoon 2007-04-26 15:11:20
If process A holds resource 1 but is waiting for resource 2, and process B holds resource 2 but is waiting for resource 1, then if you can duplicate either resource you can resolve the deadlock.

Granted, this isn't feasible in most cases, but it may be worth thinking about.
