You can also attach gdb to a running java process to get a thread dump, at
least on NPTL targets (I seem to remember it didn't work on LinuxThreads).
I wonder if core files now preserve thread stacks... hey, it seems to
work! At least on my FC1 box.
So you can either a) start a process with gdb, b) attach to an already
running process or c) force a core dump and debug that.
