David,
Since your changes for CR 6566340 "Restore use of stillborn flag to
signify a thread that was stopped before it started", are now promoted
in hs21.0-b01, I would like to proceed with this clean up in the
libraries. Basically reverse out the changes that were made by CR
4519200, in JDK6. Stop before start will now be correctly handled
solely by the VM.
Also, some minor changes to an existing StopBeforeStart regression test.

Thanks,

Not your doing, but it looks like stop(null) could resume a suspended
thread before throwing NPE. Do I read this correctly? Just wondering if
that should be ex-examined while you are in the stop method.
