There are two functions (start and stop) which appear to initialise things and tidy them up, and an internal variable which says whether start has been called (and stop not). This should throw a state exception, but somehow this is becoming a ThreadDeath.
Now this loader works perfectly well if I do things in servlet methods, but as soon as I try to use the loader in the background thread, or rather as soon the system trys to use it under the covers to load PhantomReference, it fails. The upshot of this problem is that the Postgresql Jdbc3 driver is unusable on a background thread in Tomcat 5.5.9.
