IV70971: FINALIZER DOES NOT RUN AFTER RUNFINALIZERSONEXIT CALLED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: Not all finalizers run when
  System.runFinalizersOnExit(true) is used.
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  

Local fix

• None.  Note that runFinalizersOnExit()isdeprecated.
  

Problem summary

• The Java VM finalization function contained a race condition
  which caused it not to wait for certain finalizers to complete
  before exiting if runFinalizersOnExit is true.
  

Problem conclusion

• The synchronization was improved.The Java VM makes a best effort
  to complete all finalizers if runFinalizersOnExit is true, but
  this cannot be guaranteed in all cases.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     8    SR1       (8.0.1.0)
     6 R1 SR8 FP4   (6.1.8.4)
