FYI: Patch: java/lang/Thread.java

[Jeroen Frijters]

Hi,

I committed a patch to allow the daemon state of dead threads to be
changed. The documentation is a little ambiguous on this, but the Sun
JDK allows it and there is no harm in it.

Regards,
Jeroen

        * java/lang/Thread.java (setDaemon): Allow daemon state to be
        changed for dead threads.
