SimpleDateFormat thread problems?

Mon May 10 17:53:00 GMT 2004

I suspect part of the problem is possibly broken/slow stack trace code 
trying to call external programs to do a calling-classloader check.
Could you try this patch? It should fix the performance bug, but it 
seems strange that it would cause your thread to hang. Particularly if 
the problem only occurs in a threaded environment, it may be that there 
are thread race/synchronization problems with your code. Make sure you 
are synchronizing your threads correctly.
