Its been a while, but I think it was because I changed the threads
initialization to run from main_init() rather than _Jv_RegisterClasses.
The reason for doing that escapes me right now, but I think there was
one. But now that I think about it we may have to ensure threads are
initialized in _Jv_RegisterClasses, because even the lower level mutex
abstraction provided by posix-threads.cc etc might require initialization
on some platforms?
