Something in your app is starting a thread. Because the app starts the thread, 
it's responsible to cleaning it up. This message is telling you that the thread 
is not being cleaned up.  If you take a thread dump when your app is running 
and then stop the app, you should be able to get an idea as to what created 
this thread.

It should be logging to stderrour correct?  I don't see anything extra in that 
file other than the same severe messages I have been getting.
