Mmm, good.
There are some very subtle details that are easy to miss: for example,
a Thread.interrupt() followed by a park() does not block the thread
because Thread.interrupt() always does an unpark(). This means that
there is no race between Thread.interrupt() and park(); it doesn't
matter in which order they occur. I think your proposed change might
have broken that.
Andrew.
