Here is a JIRA issue which describes the problem and the fix along with
the fixed version of PersistenceBrokerAbstractImpl attached.

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OJB-114

It seems like if there was a way to get rid of the use of the finalize()
method in this context that would be a superior long term solution.
That way you wouldn't have to worry about the cost of both running the
finalize method and synchronizing access to the underlying collections.
However that may or may not be possible. I'm not really too familiar
with the codebase ;)

Thanks,
Eric
