[Fwd: _interrupted field visibility bug in OpenJDK 7+]

[Dr Heinz M. Kabutz]

In case you have not seen, there is a discussion on concurrency-interest (http://tinyurl.com/bofu46j) about a new bug that we discovered where code dealing with isInterrupted() is not correctly optimized, leading to issues where a thread does not see its interrupted status change.

This has been submitted as a bug
