I did more testing and I had to find out that the pointer was
bogus (still I don't understand how this can make the thread
hang). However, the type I tested was a _var type so I assumed
(and still asume) that the correct behavior was to initialize
it with <Type>::_nil() within it's default constructor. 
Am I wrong ? 

After I added explicit initialization

first = Controller::_nil();

all runs nicely.
