That's rather what I was reckoning. I've had signal delivery fail before if
all the threads were stuck in kernel code via system calls. This was SunOS
3.x, which shows my age - NFS was kernel-mode at that point, which made for
interesting times if file accesses got stuck. Processes not responding to a
kill -9 was a new one on me!
Might the code have ended up with all threads stuck in OS calls? It feels a
little unlikely, as I assume the JVM keeps a couple of threads for itself...
