Have you run this against the Thread tests in the libjava testsuite? 
How does it do on those? I think I've got a few other stress tests for 
Thread.Interrupt lying around somewhere, I'll see if I can dig them up 
tomorrow if you want to try them.

Why lazy initialization - wouldn't it be cleaner to set this up during 
thread initialization? IIRC there is a hook in the threads interface 
for exactly that.

This would be better called _Jv_Win32GetInterruptEvent or some such, to 
emphasize that its win32 specific and not part of the standard 
interface.
