Description

A jsvc dameon keeps running even if all non-dameon Java threads are exited. It can be reproduced by creating a start class with the usual four, but empty functions. The symtom does not change if init() takes a few seconds of time. I have attached three stack traces, using different jstack options, I don't see anything special, however.

The workaround is to explicitly call System.exit() at places where the system can finish its work.
