Description
Spotted on a personal mach5 job when running failure handlers on a test that timed out because of virtual thread deadlock.

Example output for a single thread:

The assertion may affect some or all virtual threads. If multiple threads have the same stack trace, some may observe the assertion failure and others may not. Multiple jstack runs on the same deadlocked process consistently trigger assertion failures on the same threads.
