Description

Jdk 1.5 introduced Thread.getAllStackTraces() which can be used to print a thread dump programatically. The test stress.multi kills off its testers if it reaches a deadlock or the testers can't complete on their own. It would be helpful in this case to get a thread dump automatically. The code could only be enabled for jdk 1.5 and higher.
