Description

It looks like an uncaught exception is able to terminate the StartLevel thread thus causing the framework to not be properly controllable.

Sample issue: Felix.setActiveStartLevel may throw IllegalStateException if global lock cannot be acquired. This exception is not caught and causes StartLevel thread to terminate.
