        Description

        Many of the threads in hotspot now show their names in GDB because a call to os::set_native_thread_name has been made for those thread. The GC workers (instances of the GangWorker class in workgroup.hpp) inherits from "NamedThread", but they don't call os::set_native_thread_name. Remember that os::set_native_thread_name must be called after Thread::initialize_thread_local_storage.
