Oh, thank you! I misread the ticket and missed the fact that it was only 
stop(Throwable) that was removed. I don't use that one, but .stop() (no 
arg). So it's a relief, even if I don't have answer now, at least I 
don't have a ticking bomb to deal with :)

Thank you very much!

(And I'm still interested by a general, clean and supported solution to 
deal with the described problem).
