bug in finalizer?

[Alexandre Oliva]

Hi

The attached program will stop running the finalizer after collecting
some objects, for some reason I couldn't find out :-(

This is on Kaffe 1.0.b2, tested on Solaris/Sparc and Linux/x86.

I have tried to move the definition of finalRunning=false to just
after the wait, instead of just before it, and I'd only enter the wait 
if finalRunning was false.  I also tried to modify GCfinish so that it 
would broadcast the condition of finman, instead of just signalling
it, but none of this produced any visible effect.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to pursue this bug in the next two
weeks, since I'm leaving for a trip tomorrow.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?
