Yes, I think limiting to one thread in JNI at a time is not
a good thing. It would be an artificial restriction that we
impose in order to hack around a problem.
Since the JNI doesn't standardize a way to globally block other
threads, we have to invent a kaffe-specific one, which we've done,
which any JNI code is required to use if this is what it wants
to do.
