Problem Description: Terracotta distributed cache is being used together with Ehcache. When, in a given ColdFusion instance, there is a high number of concurrent requests to a cached resource, an infinite loop usually occurs. Some requests to cache run perpetually. The CPU always increases to 100% eventually.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Configure your application for distributed cache with Ehcache. Set request timeout to 120 seconds.
Emulate the cache functions in the attached CFCs.
Subject calls to the cache functions with a high number of concurrent requests.

Actual Result: You will have periods when some requests to cache functions run perpetually, irrespective of your timeout setting. Also, your instance's CPU will then rise to 100%.

Expected Result:
No infinite loops or CPU increase 

Any Workarounds:
Not applicable

The methods to be looked into in the attached files are: conditionalCacheGet() in Caching.cfc: line 118 removeCacheItemsUserClasscodes() in Classcodes.cfc: line 48 saveUserClasscodes in UserManager.cfc: line 1290
