RFR[9u-dev]: 8153319: new test serviceability/tmtools/jstack/JstackThreadTest.java fails

[Leonid Mesnik]

Hi

I don't think that sleep is a good way to ensure that thread is started. 
It is not reliable on the slow host / VM under stress and just waste of 
time on fast host.
Is it possible just to add any explicit synchronization to ensure that 
NamedThread is started?
