The CR 4519200 "(thread) Started thread does not terminate immediately if it was stopped before"
has a Fix Delivered state, but the following example still fails:
--------------------------------------------------------------
public class test {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        A a = new A();
        a.stop();
        a.start();
        try {
            a.join();
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            System.out.println("Unexpected exception" + e);
        }
        if(a.state) {
            System.out.println("Passed");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Failed");
        }
    }
}

class A extends Thread {
  public volatile boolean state = true;
  public void run() {
      state = false;
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------------------

The evalutation of CR 4519200 contains the following note:
"The latency of thread stoppage will typically be 1-3 bytecodes...".

So either the spec should mention stoppage latency or implementation
should be fixed to terminate stopped thread immediately.
