I have a customer who keeps experiencing spinlock issue shown below. They are still running 7.2.3-10. Is there a version of 7.2.3 that has a new allocator? I recall fixing this elsewhere but would like to be sure. Customer is not prepared to upgrade to 8.x / 9.x yet but hope this helps convince them. Meanwhile, I'd like to know if 7.2.3-LATEST can help here. Related support ticket is SD02096467. Thanks!
