Diogo Sousa commented on DERBY-6679:
------------------------------------

That method only allow one caller, but other methods may remove elements from 
"services".  In particular shutdown(Object serviceModule), in line 216, may do 
so, I think.

> Between the execution of lines 181 and 206 a concurrent thread may remove the 
> only remaining service, causing the access to "services" in line 206 to fail.
