Both WebProcess and UIProcess are actually stuck inside mach_msg() in Connection::sendOutgoingMessage(). WebProcess is trying to send a SetItem message, and UIProcess is trying to send a DidSetItem message (or potentially DispatchStorageEvent).

When both processes are sending messages on the IPC.ReceiveQueue thread, they are not receiving messages, so there is no chance to get out of this deadlock.

Perhaps we should add a timeout to mach_msg, and try receiving messages for a while if we can't send? Or use separate threads for sending and receiving?
