As an example, the lookup method on the InitialContext (in the server case)
might attempt to make an inter-component call to the naming service. If the
server requires all inter-component calls within the server to be done from
container-managed threads, the lookup call will fail.

Anyway this is just an example, since the way the spec is written actually
permits the use of JVMs that don't permit explicit thread creation at all.
