Using strings and awk:

Code:

strings file | awk '
        /SleeperThreadAborting/ {
                v = $0
                if ( v !~ /\}\}$/ )
                {
                        getline
                        v = v $0
                        sub ( /\}[^}]*$/, "}", v )
                        sub ( /SleeperThreadAborting[^{]*/, "SleeperThreadAborting", v )
                }
                print v
        }
'
