Thanks for a thoughtful reply, Bob!
Let's get the code to the trunk.
Tim, Mark, Nathan, should we acquire a gold ticket to modify
java.lang.Thread?
Since Thread is in the kernel classes, it will require a co-ordinated
change to the DRLVM and IBM VME (plus any other VMs) to keep things
working across all of them simultaneously.
The alternative is to copy a DRLVM-specific version of ThreadLocal into
working_vm/vm/vmcore/src/kernel_classes/javasrc/java/lang until the idea
is worked out, then we go back and update the VMI.
Aleksey? Are you going to follow through with this? Any other ideas?

Tim
