Imho if you're not dealing with transactions of security/etc (i.e. enterprise level services) in the spawned thread then you're absolutely safe. Some (all?) app servers use custom Thread classes to put security/transaction info there. Now your own thread doesn't contain this info, so jndi/security/etc may not work there. But you should be very careful not to dead lock the whole server :-)
Regarding file io, it can be safe like the above one but it's not enterprise level or a very scalable mechanism.
