Hi all,

Here's a small test cleanup fix for review. This test fails rarely but often 
enough to be annoying. The cause is one or more of the following: a memory 
visibility issue (unsafe read/write to non-volatile fields), a race condition 
(fixed Thread.sleep(500) wait time), and potential failure to cancel a timer 
thread if an exception is thrown. This change fixes all of these probems.

Thanks,
