<pre>Hi folks,
I notice that when you send a sigquit to a VM, and threads are
deadlocked in class initialization, then the thread state is reported
as RUNNABLE. Is this deliberate?
With the attached program (which mostly deadlocks on clinit - I don't
have the time to remember how to write the
100-percent-will-always-deadlock version today), here is the output
from JDK7 b74.
