Description
See the following SWT bug for details:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=389486

It sounds like a problem with JDK7/8 implementation of -XstartOnFirstThread option.
Comments
It is hard to add a regression test for this issue because: 1. We either need to have a dependency on SWT 2. Trying to use apple's API to check the GCD is not blocked fails, because we do not start the runloop with -XstartOnFirstThread option.

The issue is reproducible with both JDK7 and 8.
