Could be weird synchronization problem as touched at the bottom of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157951#c2

Just to limit already limited reproducibility (as I blindly expect those
two cases to be related), I would highly recommend using equivalent of
ccs-0.16.2-75.el6 or newer (from 6.7 Beta perhaps?).

I would expect there is a lot of undefined behavior when (un)freezing
under uneven circumstances.

You can try to substitute -HUP for -USR1 in the command stated
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157951#c4
but not really sure it will force re-reading the config.

Anyway, the original=dumping form might also provide some insights.
