EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
It seems that the bug is more likely on multi processor/core machines.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Our product currently suffers from a threading issue in conjunction with java.awt.EventQueue.push/pop. We have been able to produce a small example showing the problem (see below). The bug mainly occurs on multi processor/core machines (we are working with Linux). We observed that whenever an own event queue is pushed a new thread is created (see "Before close()" output). After the pop of that own event queue this additional thread should go away which doesn't happen in all cases (see "After close()" output). In cases where more than one AWT-EventQueue thread exists this sometimes leads to a NPE or a deadlock (see examples below). This bug seems to be an incarnation of bug 6424157 (unfortunately the space for comments is to limited to post all the information given in this report).
NPE:
Before close()
Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main] id = 10
Thread[AWT-EventQueue-1,6,main] id = 13
After close()
Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main] id = 10
Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main] id = 14
Error: More than one AWT-EventQueue exists.
Before close()
Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main] id = 14
Thread[AWT-EventQueue-2,6,main] id = 15
After close()
Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main] id = 14
Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main] id = 16
Error: More than one AWT-EventQueue exists.
Before close()
