The test passes. But as far as the race goes that may be a fluke. I'll add the sleep to be on the safe side. Thanks Martin,

Thanks, Rob.

I'm OK with your webrev.02, and I'm OK with putting back a 10ms sleep, if you want to also do that. I'm not sure what happens on macosx or windows - you might want to think about that.

    Sorry for not responding sooner, I was out for the evening.

    I threw this fix into our test infrastructure (jprt) before I left
    though, and I see it has passed.

    I'm a little unclear as to why you'd prefer to throw that away,
    can you elaborate?

    As ugly as a Thread.sleep(10) is, it hasn't historically been a
    problem on platforms other than Solaris. Perhaps this in
    combination with the stack hackery?

    Let me know either way and I'll get it integrated sharpish! Thanks,

        Checking for readBytes should be better but it might still be
        fragile because there isn't any guarantee that the thread is
        in the read syscall (although the window should be a lot
        smaller). Although none of us like using sleep, this may be a
        case where we need a short sleep to improve our chances.


    Yup.

    Sure would be nice if we could see native methods in the
    stacktraces, kind of like this:

       java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE
    at (C/C++) __kernel_vsyscall( ())
    at (C/C++) readBytes( (jre/lib/i386/libjava.so))
    at (C/C++) Java_java_io_FileInputStream_readBytes(
    (jre/lib/i386/libjava.so))
    at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method)
