    The real problem, though, is that we suspect we're in a deadlock situation.

    A bold assumption that the name has any relation to what throws the exception.

    No. The real problem is that they don't know one way or another whether they're in a deadlock situation, and yet they paid an HPC to come in and try to solve deadlock problems. OK, I agree, there were other problems that they knew (really? or did they just suspect, like here?) were deadlock problems, but linking this "suspect" to the rest by talking about deadlocks is ... suspect. (Not sorry.)

    so they brought in a highly paid consultant to try and fix them

    No. They brought in an HPC to try to fix them. Clearly it's not "try and fix" because the HPC didn't fix all of them, and it appears that some ended up worse than before.
