Comment (by jlsantiago0):

 I have a second method to reproduce the issue very quickly. Usually less
 than a minute. This method involves streaming a sufficiently corrupted
 stream to FFMPEG to make it deadlock much faster in the same way. Note,
 the file itself is not really corrupt. It is a network packet capture of
 an HEVC transport stream that i feed to FFMPEG as input. FFMPEG is fooled
 enough to detect it as an HEVC file and then stream it to the decoder. The
 file is located at http://162.97.176.4/ffmpeg-issue-4258-test-case2-short-
 garbage.dat . This file is much smaller <20MB. You can perform the same
 test as above with this file:

 {{{
 $ while true ; do \
   ffmpeg -re -i ./ffmpeg-issue-4258-test-case2-short-garbage.dat \
      -codec copy -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:12345 \
 ; done
 }}}

 Then decode the stream via:


 {{{
 $ ffmpeg_g -vcodec hevc -threads 12 -thread_type slice \
   -i udp://:12345 -f null /dev/null
 }}}
