[Bug libgcj/9250] runtime should only use non-visible locks



------- Comment #4 from mckinlay at redhat dot com  2005-11-17 17:38 -------
I'm curious whether other Java implementations do this - my guess is no, since
some of these locks are mandated by the spec (during class initialization, for
example), so it seems that denial-of-service attacks would always be possible.
Its my understanding that the Java security model is not really designed or
intended to guard against DOS attacks.
