Well - anything you do with native code in Java is inherently "dangerous".
Obviously it's best to use native threads when doing this kind of thing,
but I want compatibility with green threads in case people need that.

That's not quite true - there is still a limitation on creating a large
number of green threads to simulate nonblocking I/O. Although green threads
effectively use select() and nonblocking I/O internally, they don't seem
to scale -- exactly why, I don't know -- probably because of things like
scheduler overhead.
