Buğra Gedik updated THRIFT-3932:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
{{ThreadManger::join}} calls {{stopImpl(true)}}, which in turn calls 
{{removeWorker(workerCount_);}}. The latter waits until {{while (workerCount_ 
!= workerMaxCount_)}}. Within the {{run}} method of the workers, the last 
thread that detects {{workerCount_ == workerMaxCount_}} notifies 
{{removeWorker}}. The {{run}} method has the following additional code that is 
executed at the very end:

{code}
    {
      Synchronized s(manager_->workerMonitor_);
      manager_->deadWorkers_.insert(this->thread());
      if (notifyManager) {
        manager_->workerMonitor_.notify();
      }
    }
{code}

This is an independent synchronized block. Now assume 2 threads. One of them 
has {{notifyManager=true}} as it detected the {{workerCount_ == 
workerMaxCount_}} condition earlier. It is possible that this thread gets to 
execute  the above code block first, {{ThreadManager}}'s {{removeWorker}} 
method unblocks, and eventually {{ThreadManage}}r's {{join}} returns and the 
object is destructed. When the other thread reaches the synchronized block 
above, it will crash, as the manager is not around anymore.

Besides, {{ThreadManager}} never joins its threads.

Attached is a small fix that addresses these problems.
