If a thread gets stuck in a state where it can never be observed or continued — so if it is NOT waiting on a queue to which something could be enqueued because in that case the thread COULD possibly continue — then whether that thread consumes some inaccessible bytes in memory or not is the same as far as functionality is concerned.

What about the case that that freeing a forever-stuck VT allows more 
objects to be freed, which then might have cleaning actions? Freeing the 
stuck VT could create a side effect that would have only occurred when 
it resumed somehow.
