hs-comp: VM is not exiting

[Vitaly Davidovich]

The OS is waiting.

This class is fairly bad, and should be avoided because the internal thread
is (a) non-daemon and (b) cannot be interrupted (it swallows IE and
continues).  Javadoc calls this out:

After the last live reference to a Timer object goes away and all
outstanding tasks have completed execution, the timer's task execution
thread terminates gracefully (and becomes subject to garbage collection).
However, this can take arbitrarily long to occur. By default, the task
execution thread does not run as a daemon thread, so it is capable of
keeping an application from terminating. If a caller wants to terminate a
timer's task execution thread rapidly, the caller should invoke the timer's
cancel method.
