It is very reasonable indeed, and we should hunt this issue as well. I ran into this assertion at some point as too. However, I wanted to focus first on the not so obvious "deadlock" problem, and takle the latter after. But I'm open to ideas on how to make lwIP as stable as possible. 
Should we move this discussion to github and create two issues?

Cheers,
Sid
