Is there a configuration setting or work around for this in the meantime?

I've created http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1193

One thought I had was that the if statement might simply be missing a ! --
since this is a concurrency improvement for non-finalizing brokers, perhaps
the non-finalizing brokers were supposed to be switched to the
ConcurrentHashMap, rather than the finalizing brokers.

Is Patrick Linskey still involved in openjpa? I haven't seen his name for
awhile.
