I missed this paragraph when reading your email yesterday. I think you 
meant the race in the application code, when a worker thread is done 
(and exit() is called) before the loop is started with an enter() call. 
It doesn't look like a bug in SecondaryLoop, but at the same time I 
don't see any easy way to resolve this problem in user code. That's why 
I've filed a new bug:

6980209: Make tracking SecondaryLoop.enter/exit methods easier
