RFR [9] 8154017: Shutdown hooks are racing against shutdown sequence, if System.exit()-calling thread is interrupted

[David Holmes]

Looks good.

I would probably have had the hook interrupt the main thread while it 
was running ie sleep(5000); main.interrupt(); sleep(5000); but 
pre-interrupting itself before calling exit is probably functionally 
equivalent.
