Hi,
I'd like to get this reviewed, it's a deadlock that can happen due to
Java objects being allocated while holding Threads_lock.
We need to collect just the characters of the thread names while holding
the lock, and create the String objects when it's released. You do need
to hit the (non-public) HotspotInternal MBean very rapidly to trigger
this reliably, but there's a small chance the deadlock could happen when
it's called by the tool that is meant to call it.

Thanks!
