On my NT 3.51 system running java alpha3, the following code seems to always
hang after a while:

public class T16 implements Runnable
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        T16 inst = new T16();
        for (int i = 0; ; i++) {
            Thread t = new Thread(inst, ""+i);
            t.start();
            t.join();
        }
    }

    public void run()
    {
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
    }
}

I've had it go as few as 241 times, as many as 7500 (or so) times, but it
always seems to hang. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug here?
