If it's just this connection, then switching to V2 is a fine solution.  A
simple execute works fine and won't affect anything else.  I thought you
were considering switching your whole application to V2 which needs a
little more thought.  As an example ParameterMetaData is only
implementable with the V3 protocol.

I have applied to previous patch to CVS, and it should fix your problem,
but it does not solve every deadlock situation.  The deadlock avoidance
code was originally written for batch execution which should not be
returning ResultSets.  If many long queries that return significant
results are issued with a single execute we will still deadlock.  Solving
this would require tracking the bytes actually sent rather than the number
of queries sent, or a more significant redesign to use multiple threads or
NIO.  Attached is sample code which still deadlocks.
