      Description

        Doug Lea reports:

        We finally got to a corner case that we left (literally!)
        hanging in Phaser -- what to do when multiple sub-phasers register
        and deregister such that they try to "steal" each others
        registrations. This is a crazy thing for a user to do -- the
        outcome will be non-deterministic, and isn't (and cannot
        be) spec'ed tightly, but the code was left
        as possibly freezing, which is not a nice thing to do.
        But now is addressed in CVS update, along with enabling
        a previously commented out test method in tck/PhaserTest.
