JMXMP: thread leak on the client side

 <###@###.###>

I have now got a thread leak on the client side. It occurs with Remoting 1.0.1, JDMK 5.1 but *NOT* with Remoting 1.0.

The problem is when the client tries to connect to a server that is not there! The client gets a connection exception, but then leaks a thread.

It is a simple reproduce (attached java source file). I have also attached the output from my running it. You can see that there are many JobExecutor threads.

Is this a known problem? Should I raise a Bugtraq defect.
