I assume there is also some underlying issue in the Locale code and this 
might get hidden if we fix the test (I"ve no objection to fixing the 
test of course, just thinking that we should study the Locale code to 
try to identify the deadlock or hang or whatever it is that is causing 
the threads in this test not to terminate).
