Is delete threaded?

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

Hi Walter,

this is a problem with callsites for global configurable variables not 
being properly guarded. I encountered this problem independently and it 
will be fixed in my next commit, but I created a bug to track it and add 
a test case.

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8034055

Thanks,
Hannes
