Yes.  All of my testing has been done on a MacBook Pro with Intel
Core 2 Duo.  The Apple JDK tests were run directly on OS X 10.6.2
and the non-Apple JDKs were tested running a Ubuntu 9.10 guest in a
Sun VirtualBox container.  I tried running multiple JDKs
concurrently and still could not get a failure.

I don't know if it would help, but the thread management has been
completely reworked in pool 1.5, introducing, among other things, a
fairness algorithm to ensure client threads are served in request
arrival order.  It would be good to know if the failures you are
seeing also occur using pool 1.4.
