What sort of "load test" were you doing exactly?

s_lock_stuck is not an impossible case, if you are stressing the system
to say 100 or 1000 times past its design capacity. With a version as
old as 7.4.x, I frankly wouldn't even bother to investigate it. Please
do your experimentation on something recent, like 8.2.x ...
