I think I can work around by abandoning the thread, digesting the main content and starting an new one.

This appears to be a duplicate of #11440. Consolidating.

Yes, it is a duplicate. I searched for it and found some locked threads, where I couldn't comment. I could work around, but it shouldn't block IMHO. Payload too large might happen, but if it happens the thread is dead, since it doesn't recover from that.
