That's generally correct, and having Java create the threads is no doubt
usually the best solution for now.

It might also work to create the threads ahead of time with GC_pthread_create,
so that the GC knows about them when they're created.  That's of course
an ugly hack, makes assumptions about your application structure, etc.
