I'd rather not get into the discussion of why you seem to think STM
is Very Bad (although I suspect I'm going to). I view it as a design
choice, one that makes sense in some circumstances.
The problem that I'm puzzling over is why these threads don't die or
become reused, and why they aren't named even though my servlets set
the thread name.

Now we are getting somewhere: this is what I think the problem could
be. Here's what java -version reports:
java version "1.2.1"
Solaris VM (build Solaris_JDK_1.2.1_02, native threads, sunwjit)
This is on an E450 (4 processor) running SunOS 5.6
Thanks.
