I have a major pending patch (from Ben Hutchings) that fixes some of

the thread limit. I had been planning to hold off on that, until the
6.4 release of the GC.
But based on the state of things, I would like to integrate it now,
together with some other
fixes that are probably still needed. This is likely to introduce
some instability into 3.4.
But the current stuff also looks pretty instable to me ...
libgcj on Windows is still rather experimental/alpha from what I
gather, so I don't see any problem with introducing major patches for
that code at this stage. Any work is sure to be a net improvement here,
so this plan sounds fine to me.
