[kaffe] Problems with class loader and jthreads

[Godmar Back]

 jthread_disable_stop is used to defer a thread's termination
to ensure the thread is stopped when it is safe to do so.
You could be missing a jthread_enable_stop somewhere (which would
make threads unstoppable), or the recursion could be legimate.
What's your stacktrace?
