No, I don't think the VM has to use different JNIEnv * pointers
for different threads. But it may. The point is that the onus is on
the native code to use the one provided by the VM consistently
with that same thread, no matter what the VM does. The VM is the
"master" and the native code is the "slave" in other words.

For example, the VM could have a single JNIEnv * pointer, and then
use pthread_getspecific() at each crossing into/out of native code
to determine which thread it's actually dealing with.
