RubySpec: Thread#stop? reports aborting on a killed thread FAILED
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JRUBY-3587
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3587
             Project: JRuby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Classes/Modules
    Affects Versions: JRuby 1.2
            Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter


This is a result of our moving critical= to be a global mutex instead of a 
stop-the-world. The following code from thread/fixtures/classes.rb expects that 
the killed thread won't start running again until critical has been released:

{noformat}
  def self.status_of_aborting_thread
    t = Thread.new { sleep }
    begin
      Thread.critical = true
      t.kill
      Status.new t
    ensure
      Thread.critical = false      
    end
  end
{noformat}

Because in JRuby, critical only prevents two threads from criticalizing at the 
same time (rather than critical preventing any threads from running other than 
the current), this fails sporadically.
