There was never no rush and I was waiting for you to respond.
JavaThread lifecycle don't match pthread lifecycle, so moving to a tls algorithm
where we can control the lifetime would be great IMHO. For normal JavaThread (non-attaching)
I guess we can put them under stack if we allocate stack our-self.
I think attaching threads is the nut to crack.
