Hi Mark, Using a CountDownLatch looks like the right thing to do indeed. At first I thought that the instance variables would need to be declared volatile - or synchronized - but since they're set before the new Thread is created and not changed afterwards I guess it's OK. It's a bit strange to pass 'this' to another thread before 'this' is fully constructed though. Well - it's just a test ;-)

Hi please oblige and review the following changes http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~msheppar/8025211/webrev/ which address the issue raised in the bug https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8025211 an intermittent failure occurs on some windows test machines. this replaces a Thread.sleep(5000) with explicit synchronization between sender and receiver via a CountDownLatch regards Mark
