This patch improves and simplifies Thread.join() by making sure that the __bootstrap() method is finished before join() returns. While it does improve the resource deallocation behaviour, it is still enough for solving all refleak detection hazards (see #7222).

(I meant not enough, of course)

This patch relies on ref counting behavior, an unfortunate side-effect for other implementations.

Indeed. Let's consider it closed then.
