Alan, you're going here where no man has gone before. We don't have a story yet as to how shut down a kaffe with native threads, but my guess is that the gc and the finalizers threads should not go through onstop/threadDeath. I'd say maybe using a flag that tells these threads to just exit would do fine, but that may already be overkill. Simply skipping them when you stop all threads might be even easier. Or maybe we don't even have to stop the other threads when we exit, unless we're embedded in something. - Godmar
