Detection is getting hung up on macOS

I've discussed this with @pauld-msft but wanted to open an issue for tracking purposes. When the internal version of our sbom tool calls into component-detection on macOS systems, one or more detection threads stops responding, leading to the process timing out and failing. We've added a workaround on our side to try to handle the timeout more gracefully, but we still need to identify and fix the root cause. According to reports, this is occurring about 15% of the time. Reach out to me if you need more information, internal links, etc.

The problem first occurred when we moved from Microsoft.ComponentDetection.* 4.8.9 to Microsoft.ComponentDetection.* 4.9.6.

There have been sporadic reports that this may also be happening on x64, but not approaching the 15% failure rate reported on macOS.

Start by reproducing the intermittent timeout on macOS with the internal SBOM tool and compare component-detection versions 4.8.9 and 4.9.6. Investigate which detection thread stops responding, including reports on x64, and consider the issue done when detection completes reliably without timing out on macOS.
