> vm_shutdown_stop_java_threads() function tries to terminate daemon threads by setting TheadDeath exception to them and interrupting in infinite loop.
> 1. There's a race condition in this algorithm: No one can guarantee that continuous setting TheadDeath exception to a thread will force it to terminate.
> 2. TheadDeath is throwing in the points that may not be safe for exception throwing. This may lead to vm crash (or assertion). 
> ( Such crash was reproduced on win/ia32 on gc.Mark smoke test with the patch from HARMONY-3297)
