Description

Both Package Admin and Start Level use internal threads to service requests. Both of these threads should probably catch all exceptions and log them. Currently, they do not, which can lead to premature thread death. However, in the event of an exception, they cannot really do anything about it and the framework is likely in a confused state, so having them continue is tricky, but there aren't many other options.
