Description
Run HelloRectangle or HelloControls or pretty much any other app as follows (setting javafx.keepalive=true defeats the workaround as described in RT-17777):

    java -Djavafx.keepalive=true helloworld.HelloRectangle

Exit by pressing the window close button in the decoration


Often the app will crash in glass native code as it is exiting with the following error:

Invalid memory access of location 0x50 rip=0x10564769a
Segmentation fault: 11

I have attached the crash dump.

Note that we must remove the System.exit workaround in order to ship JavaFX on Mac for 2.1.

2 problems. We were calling dealloc form one thread, but: - dealloc used it's own thread's env to release its runnable - we were detaching calling thread and leaving the timer's thread still attached The fix is to: - release runnable from the JNI Timer.stop thread - detach Timer's thread just before exiting that thread

Raise priority to critical to match that of RT-17777.

NOTE: many times the app will hang until another window gets focus. That behavior is tracked with RT-19030
