We have a scenario where the following line in WebServer.java throws
spurious errors:
if (runners.activeCount () > 255)
{
throw new RuntimeException ("System overload");
}
The problem with this occurs if any of the the xml/rpc service handlers create
threads themselves, then as it's parent, these will also end up in the
"runners" ThreadGroup unless the parent of the created thread is specifically
set differently.
Hence the above doesn't just count runner threads, but also all threads
which runner threads create. We can easily work around this in our code, by
setting the ThreadGroup before creating new threads - but the behaviour
seems wrong somehow.
