If anyone is stop()-ing ReferenceHandler thread then it should be stopped. Speaking of that, if ThreadDeath is thrown in the middle of Cleaner's thunk.run() processing, then the Cleaner will exit JVM. I think ThreadDeath should be separately caught and re-thrown instead. Yes, it should although I can't imagine anything other than tests wanting to do that.
