Hi folks,

I'd like to push this change into JDK8 & 7. There is other work going on in 9 which will supersede this fix so there is likely no point in pushing to that release. This is backport of the threadpool specific changes from https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6944584 along with some cosmetic changes in order to keep the code somewhat similar. In a nutshell a new process reaper thread was spawned for every Process created by the JDK. This fix runs these reaper threads in a thread pool to save on thread creation when creating a lot of new processes. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~robm/8034944/webrev.01/ -Rob
