Hi folks,
I'd like to push this change into JDK8 & 7. There is other work going on
in 9 which will supersede this fix so there is likely no point in
pushing to that release.
This is backport of the threadpool specific changes from
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6944584 along with some
cosmetic changes in order to keep the code somewhat similar.
In a nutshell a new process reaper thread was spawned for every Process
created by the JDK. This fix runs these reaper threads in a thread pool
to save on thread creation when creating a lot of new processes.
