Hi Christian,

Probably best to discuss this on the net-dev@openjdk.java.net list (cc'd).

Two comments from me (I'm not on net-dev):

1. CHECK_NULL does a return so you will be leaving the monitor locked if you encounter any nulls.

2. Is it simpler to add synchronization at the Java level? (I don't know how this code is used)

Looking at
'openjdk/jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/net/spi/DefaultProxySelector.c',
there is a 'static void* gconf_client' which is initialized by calling
'gconf_client_get_default' from 'libgconf-2'. Uses of that client are
not protected against concurrent accesses by multiple threads although
that gconf client is not thread-safe. Trying to add some protection
myself resulted in the attached patch. Rebuilding JDK 1.7 with this
patch applied, the 'gconf'/'dbus' related crashes no longer happen.

Regards,
