[cp-patches] FYI: Another java.lang.Runtime patch

[Jeroen Frijters]

Hi,

I committed the attached patch to fix a (potential) problem with
shutdown hook threads that have a lower priority than the thread doing
the shutdown processing.

The previous implementation relied on Thread.yield() to give the
shutdown hook threads time to run, but on IKVM (and I suspect most
Windows based VMs), Thread.yield() doesn't yield to lower priority
threads. This caused the loop to spin forever if the thread initiating
the shutdown has a high priority.

Regards,
Jeroen
