Thanks for the work with the latest patchset.

Being one of the people who experienced the fork+hang problem with
jdk14p3, I must say that the recent patchset is a definite improvement.
However, the problem still occurs for me (though not as often), especially
when compiling jsp pages under jboss3 under load. Would it help at all
if I were to provide core-images of the hanging processes to help with
the debug procedure?

Cheers.
