I remember the initialization problem with java.lang.Thread, but I think the usage here is ok. As you correctly point out, AtomicBoolean is already used in other java.io classes.  If HelloWorld starts up then I think you’re good.

The changes themselves look ok to me. Maybe the test could exercise FilterOutputStream directly too?
